Abstract

A real-time image processing algorithm for detection of a moving targets requires faster, more accurate and more flexible computer systems. For TV image tracking systems, scanning in the camera fielc of view ( CFOV ), capturing the intended target inside a window, detection of the target center, and tracking process are four modes of operations that need fast execution time. To implement these algorithms in real-time, delay time caused in these modes must be minimized. Parallel processing techniques are exploited as a solution for implementation of such algorithm. This paper describes the parallel implementation of real-time image processing algorithm for detection of a moving target using full linking transputer arrays. The partitioning roughly equal tasks which are written in parallel-C allocating the tasks to processors, interconnection topology of the processors, and the capacity of each communication link over the transputer network are considered. Finally, simulation results show that parallel techniques are very powerful and essential for real - time applications.
