Abstract :
The authors discuss the implementation of a method of image registration that uses the edges of common features and is suited to the coarse grain parallel model of communicating sequential processes. Results are given for performance of sections of the algorithms on a small network of transputers. Some of the factors which must be considered in using a parallel system are discussed
