Special issue on parallel computing for real-time image processing

摘要

The performance requirements of image processing applications have continuously increased, especially when they are executed under real-time constraints. We have organized this special issue on parallel computing for real-time image processing to present the current state-of-the-art in the field of parallel programming and the future trends in real-time image and video processing as related to parallel computing or real-time implementation of embedded image processing applications on parallel architectures including multi-core platforms, GPUs and dedicated parallel architectures.
