Abstract :
This paper presents a new reconfigurable architecture for image analysis: the associative mesh. This architecture provides powerful computational primitives that can apply an associative operator over the connex sets of a graph. These primitives can be easily and efficiently realised in hardware by means of asynchronous operations and are adapted to a large number of image analysis primitives. As an example, the implementation of distance transforms is described
