Parallel processing of digital images using a modular architecture

Describes a parallel modular architecture that can perform high speed image processing by implementing digital signal processing algorithms in hardware. Speed performance is enhanced by the fact that different modules can be working simultaneously in parallel, on the same or a different set of data. The authors look in detail at how one of the parallel modules operates, and they propose how the system can be used to compress the data required to send or store a sequence of image frames, by encoding changes in consecutive frames in terms of geometric transformations
