Owing to the sequential nature of memory interfaces, as well as the growing processor-memory performance gap, the design of parallelimage processors is often faced with a challenge in deciding memory organisation and distribution. This work addresses the problem of memory access bottlenecks in parallel digital image processors and presents one solution which demonstrates up to 93.4% reduction over standard sequential methods.

Restoration by deconvolution of three-dimensional images that have been contaminated by noise and spatially invariant blur is computationally demanding. We describe efficient parallel implementations of iterative methods for image deconvolution on a distributed memory computing cluster.
In the last decades, diagnosing medical images has heavily relied on digital imaging. As a consequence, huge amounts of data produced by modern medical instruments need to be processed, organized, and visualized in a ...

In this paper we discuss an efficient methodology for the image analysis and characterization of digital images containing skin lesions. The methodology is based on the support vector machines algorithm for data classification and it has been applied to the problem of the recognition of malignant melanoma versus dysplastic nevus. Border and color based features were extracted from digital images of skin lesions acquired under reproducible conditions, using basic imageprocessing techniques. Although larger sample sizes are necessary to resolve these issues fully, the support vector machines algorithm performed excellently achieving a high percentage of correct classification (approximately 100%). Two other classification methods, the statistical discriminant analysis and the application of neural networks were applied also to the same problem and their efficiency was compared with the support vector machines algorithm performance.
In this work we describe two sequential algorithms and their parallel counterparts for solving nonlinear systems, when the Jacobian matrix is symmetric and positive definite. This case appears frequently in unconstrai...

This dissertation presents a novel method of autonomic face recognition based on the recently proposed biologically plausible network of networks (NoN) model of information processing. The NoN model is based on locally parallel and globally coordinated transformations. In the NoN architecture, the neurons or computational units form distributed networks, which themselves link to form larger networks. In the general case, an n-level hierarchy of nested distributed networks is constructed. This models the structures in the cerebral cortex described by Mountcastle and the architecture based on that proposed for information processing by Sutton. In the implementation proposed in the dissertation, the image is processed by a nested family of locally operating networks along with a hierarchically superior network that classifies the information from each of the local networks. The implementation of this approach helps obtain sensitivity to the contrast sensitivity function (CSF) in the middle of the spectrum, as is true for the human vision system. The input images are divided into N x N blocks to define the local regions of processing. The N x N two-dimensional Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT), a spatial frequency transform, is used to transform the data into the frequency domain. Thereafter, statistical operators that calculate various functions of spatial frequency in the block are used to produce a block-level DCT coefficient. The image is now transformed into a variable length vector that is trained with respect to the data set. The classification was done by the use of a backpropagation neural network. The proposed method yields excellent results on a benchmark database. The results of the experiments yielded a maximum of 98.5% recognition accuracy and an average of 97.4% recognition accuracy. An advanced version of the method where the local processing is done on offset blocks has also been developed. This has validated the NoN approach and further research using lo

The submitted paper is describes a relevant experience in an introduction of photonic information processing techniques into the curricula of MSc course subject imageprocessing and Photonics and PhD course subject Selected Parts from Photonics. The photonic information processing systems offer extensive computational power because of several advantages: the information carrier - photon - is the fastest one, massively parallel access and computation, some mathematical operations performed by physical effects (2D convolution, 2D Fourier transform).
