Interest in digital images stems mostly from its application to various areas of computer vision [33, 57] and pattern recognition [145). Problems include robotic vision and con- trol, geographic and topographic map matching, target recognition, space applications, character recognition, scene analysis, fingerprint and face recognition, etc. Lately, with the advent of content-based image retrieval (CBIR) and proliferation of the Internet, digital imaging applications are in vogue now than ever before. In almost all the cases, the data size is enormously large, and at the same time, fast on-line as well as real- time computation is needed. For example, in fingerprint …
