This paper presents an approach to texture segmentation hy thresholding based on compactness measures of fuzzy sets to determine thresholds of an ill-defined image. The extension of fuzziness in the texture feature space provides more meaningful results than by considering fuzziness in gray scale domain. The effectiveness of the algorithm is demonstrated by comparison with other traditional non-fuzzy methods or the controversial fuzzy method in gray scale alone. In addition, the efficiency of our algorithm is further improved by parallel implementation using distributed shared memory workstations.

The problem of mis-registration of 3D datasets is addressed for MR imaging of the breast. Three methods are examined and qualitative evidence of their performance is presented. A method of constrained principal axis determination is compared with a correlation method, and an orthogonal polynomial approach is extended into three dimensions. The most effective methods still remain relatively time consuming, and for the correlation method, paralleldistributed computing has been applied to reduce the time-to-solution.

The wavelet transform is a popular signal processing technique, particularly due to its impressive results in data compression. Its usefulness includes two-dimensional data for use in imageprocessing and three-dimensional data for use in video processing. In imageprocessing, the current trends are for image sizes which require a substantial amount of computing power;an application processing a 1024 by 1024 standard quality image requires many millions of processing steps per image frame. When processing sequences of these images for video, the throughput required is considerable in order to attain even low display rates. Three-based architectures have been proposed to provide this throughput rate by processing pixels in a data parallel fashion. Each level of the wavelet transform is processed using an array or a plane of processing elements operating in parallel on shared or distributed data. The largest of these architectures, the plane-based H-tree design, provides a real-time, pipelineable implementation of the 2DWT, but is costly in terms of VLSI area due to its requirement of O(n2) processors for a n by n data-set. In this paper, we look at methods for improving the practicality of these architectures by reducing the required area for a given problem size. This is achieved by adding extra processors at the root of the tree, which allows processing of larger images with an insignificant addition of hardware in exchange for a detrimental effect on the processing speed. We conclude the paper by presenting area/time trade-offs which can be used to evaluate cost/performance specifications.

Many imageprocessing tasks can be computed efficiently in a single program multiple data (SPMD) fashion on massively parallel systems. Although executing SPMD tasks on coarse-grained heterogeneous systems yields a cost-effective solution, heterogeneity introduces more complexity in data partitioning, mapping, and scheduling problems. In this paper, three image data partitioning schemes for parallelimageprocessing in heterogeneous systems are investigated and implemented using the parallel virtual machine message passing library. The partitioning schemes are based on the system characteristics (processing capability) incorporated within the distributed computing primitives (DCP) environment using SpecInt92 benchmark and our DCP-based benchmark. We compare the results with the baseline (Eq-based) scheme that equally partitions images regardless of processing speed. The results from the experiments show that the DCP-based partitioning scheme outperforms the Eq-based and Spec-based schemes.

Hypermedia systems are very important as platforms in the future multimedia information network services. In order to provide more flexible and sophisticated multimedia presentation, it is desirable to simply and efficiently transmit various media data from the databases distributed over network and present them on the user station depending on scenario so as to semantically integrate into multimedia information objects. In this paper, a new hypermedia system which is based on object-oriented structure to perform two different temporal synchronization methods, "lip synchronization" and "scene synchronization" is introduced. Lip synchronization method performs, fine-grained temporal synchronization between continuous media, such as audio and video. On the other hand in scene synchronization, coarse-grained temporal relation between continuous media and discrete media, such as image, graphics or text is maintained depending on the presentation scenario. Furthermore, several media which are semantically related to each other are unified into a Media Group (MG) to simplify its media treatment. The MGs and their involved processing functions are encapsulated into a Media Object (MO) and easily controlled by message passing procedure. In this paper, implementation of the hypermedia model which performs scene synchronization function between discrete and continuous media in the MOs depending on the presentation scenario, and context switching function between each media presentation is precisely described. Finally "Electric Museum" as a prototype application of hypermedia systems is introduced to evaluate the suggested synchronization mechanism.
