Distributed image processing on spiral architecture

Improving computation efficiency is a key issue in image processing, especially in edge detection, which is very computationally intensive. With the development of real-time applications of image processing, fast processing response is becoming more critical. In this paper, a technique for distributed image processing on a spiral architecture is proposed, which provides a platform for speeding up image processing based on clusters.
