A distributed mechanism for remote rendering of image data

In this paper, we propose a distributed rendering mechanism for image data using multiple servers. Since the stylization of large images also requires high computation overhead to render an image, a low-end client divides it into several image pieces. Each piece is sent to a different server, which then performs rendering. A client merges the rendered pieces to one output image again. The proposed method enables large image data to be rendered by collaboration of multiple servers with reasonable processing and communication cost.
