Abstract

This paper presents a parallel algorithm for the weighted distance transform and the nearest feature transform of an n * n binary image. We show that the algorithm runs in O(log n) time using n^2 / log n processors on the EREW PRAM and in O(log log n) time using n^2 / log log n processors on the common CRCW PRAM. We also show that the algorithm runs in O(n^2/p^2 + n) time on a p \times p mesh and in O(n^2/p^2 + (n log p) / p) time on a p^2 processor hypercube (for 1
