Maximum likelihood (ML) estimation is used during tomosynthesis mammography reconstruction. A single reconstruction involves the processing of high-resolution projection images, which is both compute-intensive and time-consuming. This workload is presently a bottleneck in the accurate diagnosis of breast cancer during screening. This paper presents our parallelization work on an ML algorithm using three different partitioning models: no inter-communication, overlap with inter-communication and non-overlap model. These models are evaluated to obtain the best reconstruction performance given a range of computing environments with different computational power and network speed. Our test results show that the non-overlap method outperforms the other two methods on all five computing platforms evaluated. This parallelization of ML has enabled tomosynthesis to become a viable technology in the breast screening clinic, reducing reconstruction time from 3 hours on a PentiumIVworkstation to 6 minutes on a 32-node PentiumIV cluster

Spiral Architecture is a relatively new and powerful approach to general-purpose machine vision system. n this novel architecture, Spiral Addition and Multiplication achieve imageprocessing. As we all nown, fractal image compression methods have maximal image compression ratio, at the cost Of slow coding speed. This paper presents an algorithm to achieve high image compression ratio without slow coding speed on Spiral Architecture, which also improves the Spiral Architecture s usage in imageprocessing.

With the increasing importance of multiple multiplatform remote sensing missions, digital image registration has been applied into many fields, and specially plays a very important role in remotely sensed data processing. Firstly a brief introduction of existing parallelmethods of wavelet-based global registration is given. And then the communication optimization for GP method is described. The optimized algorithm is named Group-Optimized-parallel (GOP for short). To find out the reason of occasionally lower efficiency of GOP than other methods, a more careful analysis is presented in theory and proved in experiments. Moreover, we give a quantitative criterion, called Remainder Items, to choose the best solution in different input conditions.

This paper presents a novel concept for resource management in cluster-based image retrieval systems. First, the paper describes image retrieval using static and dynamic feature extraction. The complexity of dynamic feature extraction requires the utilization of powerful parallel architectures and in order to provide the user with reasonable response times. Most existing methods for resource management in parallelimage retrieval systems are based on sinlge query execution and do not take quality of service (QoS) aspects into account. This appears not to be practical in large-scale and commercial applications of image databases having a large number of users at any time. In order to allow an efficient utilization of the parallel system and to meet user-defined QoS demands associated with queries, we need to develop a new concept and a novel resource management architecture. Interesting aspects of the model include utility theory, flexible computations, QoS levels, and a hierarchical resource management architecture. Finally, an approach for algorithmic solution is described.

The drive of the semiconductor industry towards smaller and smaller features sizes requires more sophisticated correction methods to guarantee the final tolerances for the etched features in both wafer manufacturing and mask making. The wavelength gap in lithography and process effects as well as dependencies on the design content have led to the tremendous variety of resolution enhancement techniques and process correction approaches that are currently applied to a design on its path to manufacturing. As the 65nm nodes become production ready and the 45nm node shifts into the focus of the development effects like flare in wafer exposure, fogging effects in ebeam mask exposure and others that previously could be ignored are becoming significant so that their correction prior to manufacturing is required. That means additional correction steps are necessary to complete the data preparation. These put a larger burden on the data processing path and raise concerns over data volume and processing time limitations. Hierarchical processingmethods have proven very effective in the past to keep data volumes and processing time in control. The paper explores the design trends and the potential of hierarchical processing under the new circumstances. Extended data flows with a variety of correction steps are investigated. Experimental results that demonstrate the benefit of hierarchical methods in conjunction with parallelprocessingmethods like multithreading and distributedprocessing are provided. The benefit of introducing more effective data formats like OASIS in these flows will be illustrated.

One of the most significant challenges in fluorescence-enhanced optical tomography is the repeated calculation of Jacobian sensitivity matrix. An adjoint sensitivity method is more computationally efficient than other methods to compute the sensitivity, but its serial implementation is not sufficient for real-time large scale 3D reconstruction system due to the intensive computation overhead of the inverse problem and the limitation of the single computer resources. A vectorized implementation of a sequential algorithm has been applied for adjoint sensitivity computation on a single computer. In this paper, we present an extension of this algorithm to parallel computing environment, in which mesh data decomposition is used to compute the Jacobian matrix over multiple processors. We discuss and compare the performance of the parallel algorithm implemented on both the network of Dell PC workstations and the SGI Onyx3400 shared memory MIMD system.
