A Computational Paradigm On Network-Based Models Of Computation, Venkatavasu Bokka Oct 1996

A Computational Paradigm On Network-Based Models Of Computation, Venkatavasu Bokka

Computer Science Theses & Dissertations

The maturation of computer science has strengthened the need to consolidate isolated algorithms and techniques into general computational paradigms. The main goal of this dissertation is to provide a unifying framework which captures the essence of a number of problems in seemingly unrelated contexts in database design, pattern recognition, image processing, VLSI design, computer vision, and robot navigation. The main contribution of this work is to provide a computational paradigm which involves the unifying framework, referred to as the multiple Query problem, along with a generic solution to the Multiple Query problem.

To demonstrate the applicability of the paradigm, a …


High Performance Issues In Image Processing And Computer Vision, Jingyuan Zhang Jan 1992

High Performance Issues In Image Processing And Computer Vision, Jingyuan Zhang

Computer Science Theses & Dissertations

Typical image processing and computer vision tasks found in industrial, medical, and military applications require real-time solutions. These requirements have motivated the design of many parallel architectures and algorithms. Recently, a new architecture called the reconfigurable mesh has been proposed. This thesis addresses a number of problems in image processing and computer vision on reconfigurable meshes.

We first show that a number of low-level descriptors of a digitized image such as the perimeter, area, histogram and median row can be reduced to computing the sum of all the integers in a matrix, which in turn can be reduced to computing …
