Abstract

The aim of the paper is to validate architectures that allow an image processing researcher to develop parallel applications. A comparative analysis of the possible software and hardware solutions for real-time image and video processing was presented, with emphasis on distributed computing. The challenge was to develop algorithms that perform real-time low level operations on digital images able to be executed on a cluster of desktop PCs. The experiments on a case study show how to use parallelizable patterns and how to optimize the load balancing between the workstations.
