Abstract

A new development in the design and implementation of a distributed, real-time image processing system is presented. The system uses an IBM personal computer as the front end to a remote computer via the Internet. The standard TCP/IP networking protocols are utilised to link the IBM-PC and high performance remote devices such as transputer networks and supercomputers. The access to the powerful remote computers enables the system to complete complex image processing tasks in real-time. During processing, the image is transferred to the remote machine and then transferred back to the PC for display. The system serves as a prototype for a full-feature image processing and analysis package, as well as a programming platform for the research and development of new image processing algorithms.
