Abstract :
Describes the parallel implementation of an interactive image processing system based on a ternary tree configuration of transputers. The tree can be extended to utilise available processors. Approximately 100 image processing algorithms have been implemented, involving low level transformations, feature extraction, and preliminary scene interpretation. Dynamic load balancing techniques have been utilised extensively in order to distribute the workload and data around the processors for these operations
