Abstract

This paper addresses vision processing characteristics through a survey of parallel dedicated architectures and proposes a concept of vision application-adaptable architecture and its implementation called FreeTIV computer (Free architecture dedicated to image processing and vision). FreeTIV is a heterogeneous parallel computer defined as a set of functionally reconfigurable processing modules. A message passing router called RouTIV (Router dedicated to image processing and vision) adapts FreeTIV module interconnections according to the running application data and the global application execution costs. The adaptable computer concept allows to develop fast and reliable (dedicated or not) parallel computer at low cost.
