Parallel operations on binary images.


by R Klette
Abstract:
It is a well-known fact that parallel logical operations and shifts are useful for speeding up certain computational tasks in binary image processing. A theoretical model for computation is given using these operations as basic instructions. Some examples demonstrate the utility of such a parallel processing system for fast solutions; e.g. the recognition of rectangles, squares and isosceles right triangles can be done within time O(log N) for input images of size NxN. -Author English
