چکیده

We present analytical and experimental results for ne-grained list ranking algorithms, with the objective of examining how the locality properties of image edge lists can be used to improve the performance of this highly data-dependent operation. Starting with Wyl-lie's algorithm and Anderson & Miller's randomized algorithm as bases, we use the spatial locality of edge links to derive scalable algorithms designed to exploit the characteristics of image edges. Tested on actual and synthetic edge data, this approach achieves significant speedup on the MasPar MP-1 and MP-2, compared to the standard list ranking algorithms. The modiied algorithms exhibit good scalability and are robust across a wide variety of images.

Contour ranking on coarse grained machines: a case study for low-level vision computations

In this paper we present parallel solutions for performing image contour ranking on coarse-grained machines. In contour ranking, a linear representations of the edge contours is generated from the raw image. We describe solutions that employ different divide-andconquer approaches and that use different communication patterns. The combining step of the divide-and-conquer solutions uses efficient...
