In the field of computer vision, image denoising remains a fundamental and challenging problem, playing a crucial role in the preprocessing of various imageprocessing tasks. The introduction of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) into the image denoising domain has yielded significant improvements across different levels of visual tasks. In recent years, models based on the Swin Transformer have also been applied to the image denoising field, demonstrating superior denoising performance that surpasses CNN-based methods, thus becoming advanced techniques in current image denoising research. This paper proposes a Swin-Conv module that combines the local modeling capabilities of residual convolutional layers with the non-local modeling capabilities of the Swin Transformer and integrates this module into the UNet architecture for image denoising. For the dataset used in the model training process, data augmentation techniques were employed to randomly enhance the dataset, thereby improving overall robustness. The results indicate that the proposed Swin Transformer Residual Conv U-Net model shows improvement over current advanced networks, achieving PSNR and SSIM values of 36.09 and 0.963 at sigma = 15, 33.87 and 0.915 at sigma = 25, and 28.96 and 0.810 at sigma = 50.

Algebraic Reconstruction Technique (ART) is a method for reconstructing images from projections. It is widely used in applications such as Computed Tomography (CT). The algorithm requires fewer views, and hence less radiation, to produce a satisfactory image. However,, the approach is not widely used due to the computational intensive nature of the problem. In this paper we design and develop a parallel ART (PART) algorithm and study its performance on a network of workstations using the Message Passing Interface(MPI).

This paper investigates a class of image algebras that result from a pixel-addressing scheme known as Spiral Counting. This class of algebras is important to the field of imageprocessing and computer vision for two reasons: Firstly, they facilitate fundamental image transformations, rotation, scaling and translation. Secondly, they possess computational properties pertinent to discrete representations of images, digital image technology and biological vision. Two new forms of Spiral Counting named Pseudo Spiral Counting and Rectangular Spiral Counting is described. A comparison of the four forms of Spiral Counting is provided It is the conclusion of this paper that Rectangular Spiral Counting provides the greatest potential for general use as it combines the power of Spiral Architecture transformations with the existing weal,h of imageprocessing algorithms.

We have constructed a prototype imageprocessing board containing 384 processors In 8 VLSI chips. The goal of the prototype is to show how fine grain parallelism present in imageprocessing applications can be exploited by using lots of simple processors inter-connected in clever ways. Each processor has a 16-bit data path, a simple instruction set containing 12 instructions, a simple control unit, and a scan chain for loading data and program, Each VLSI chip, called PADDI-2, contains 48 processors, The programming model used for the processors is MIMD. Each processor has 8 words in the instruction memory. There are internal registers and queues in a processor for storing data and partial results. Data is assumed to be entering the system as a stream and processed by the processors. Each VLSI chip is connected to an external memory (64K x 16). a hardware synchronization mechanism is used for communication between processors;memory, and the external environment. If a sender and receiver is within the same chip, communication can be done in one cycle by the hierarchical interconnect bus structure, Programming the processors and the interconnections are done at compile time. The board is interfaced to a Sun SPARCstation using the SBus. Video input and output is supported by the board and field buffers are used for buffering. Software tools for checking the board, running test programs at the assembly language level, and Libraries for application development have been produced. imageprocessing applications are currently under development. The board is available for experimentation over the Internet. Further details are available from the project web page (http://***/spartan).

Some radar imageprocessing algorithms such as shape-from-shading are particularly compute-intensive and time consuming. If, in addition, a data set to be processed is large, then it may make sense to perform the processing of images on multiple workstations or parallelprocessing systems. We have implemented shape-from-shading, stereo matching, resampling, gridding and visualization of terrain models in such a manner that they execute either on parallel machines or on clusters of workstations. We were motivated by the large image data set from NASA's Magellan mission to planet Venus, but received additional inspiration from the European Union's Center for Earth Observation program (CEO) and Austria's MISSION initiative for distributedprocessing of remote sensing images on remote workstations, using publicly accessible algorithms. We have developed a multi-processor approach that we denote as CDIP for Concurrent and distributedimageprocessing. The speedup for imageprocessing tasks increases nearly linearly with the number of processors, be they on a parallel machine or arranged in a cluster of distributed workstations. Our approach adds benefits for users of complex imageprocessing algorithms: the efforts for code porting and code maintenance are reduced and the necessity for specialized parallelprocessing hardware is eliminated.(1)

In image recovery, convex projection methods have been in use for almost two decades. However, while it is well known that projections can seldom be computed exactly, the effect of inexact projections on the behavior of such methods has not yet been investigated. In this paper, we propose such an analysis and establish conditions on the projection errors under which the theoretical convergence properties of various algorithms remain valid. Our analysis covers sequential, parallel, and block-iterative (subgradient) projection methods for consistent and inconsistent set theoretic image recovery problems. It is shown in particular that parallel projection methods are more robust to errors than sequential methods such as the popular POCS algorithm.

In this paper, a parallel and distributed algorithm oil Spiral Architecture for edge detection is proposed The proposed algorithm is based on Master-Slave model. The master node uniformly separates an image using a Spiral Multiplication and sends each slave node a sub-image. Each slave node performs,e detection on the sub-image based on the edge gradient of image brightness function. image noise is suppressed by a convolution with Gaussian kernel before edge points are detected The gradient consists of three components in three diagonal directions. This detection scheme guarantees a well-balancing load among the slave nodes. Its processing speed is greatly reduced through simultaneous and parallel processes on sub-images. Its accuracy is enhanced by a better approximation of the gradient components.

We deal with Krylov subspace methods such as the Conjugate Gradient (CG) method for solving linear equations with symmetric matrices on a parallel computer. The algorithm which has the less number of synchronization (abbreviated as synchro) points is crucial for reducing the communication time on the parallel computer. CG has two synchro points per iteration, and the AZMJ variant of Orthomin(2) (abbreviated as AZMJ) which has just one synchro point has been proposed. A number of strategies to generate preconditioners have been known for obtaining successful and rapid convergence. We apply the Symmetric Successive Over Relaxation (SSOR) preconditioner to their methods. Then extra computational costs are required and we need to compute the forward and back substitution in the preconditioned algorithm. We therefore propose an alternative SSOR splitting for the parallel computing, and a computation procedure to parallelize the forward and back substitution and to reduce the computational costs. The numerical results show that the convergence behavior of AZMJ is superior to that of CG, and the parallel performance of AZMJ, which has the less number of synchro points than CG, is higher using the hybrid parallelization on the parallel computer. AZMJ and CG with the preconditioner using our proposed procedure are efficient on the parallel computer, and are useful for obtaining rapid convergence.

A computer system was developed to classify human facial expressions for emotion recognition using a distributed computer architecture within the scope of big data. Computers with normal standards and features were used in the distributed computer architecture. Necessary system software for the distributed computer architecture was established and mutual communication protocols were provided between the computers and databases in the computer network. Visual C# parallel programming was used as the software language on the distributed computer architecture. In the software prepared, face image files were processed and threads were created. The threads created later were processed in the processors of the computers. The threads were run on the processors in the distributed computer system, and facial expressions were classified for emotion recognition. In the distributed computer architecture: the number of image files, the volume of big data and the load of the threads to be processed arc taken into account;and databases and parallel programming were used and the classification of human face images was performed. Emotion analysis methods and facial expression recognition techniques were used in the classification process. The distributed computer system is in low cost and high processing speed. With the distributed computer system architecture, big data analytics has become convenient and feasible.
