Abstract

Recent advances in embedded processing architectures allow for new powerful algorithms, which exploit the intrinsic parallelism present in image processing applications. This paper describes the results of the mapping process of stochastic image quantisation on a massively parallel processor. The problem can be modeled in a parallel way. Despite the fact that the implementation is IO bound, good speedups are achieved (16× compared to a standard image processing package running on a Pentium processor).
