Abstract

Many parallel architectures have been proposed to meet the high computational requirement of image processing and computer vision. SIMD pyramid architectures have been proposed to efficiently implement several classes of vision tasks such as multiresolution and top-down/bottom up algorithms. In this paper, a pyramid simulation environment implemented on the Connection Machine (CM) is presented. Discussion of the mapping scheme and the basic features of the simulator along with implementation of several pyramid algorithms using the simulator is presented
