Abstract

In this paper, a parallel and distributed algorithm on Spiral Architecture for edge- detection is proposed. The proposed algorithm is based on Master-Slave model. The master node uniformly separates an image using a Spiral Multiplication and sends each slave node a sub-image. Each slave node performs edge detection on the sub-image based on the gradient of image brightness function. Image noise is suppressed by a convolution with Gaussian kerne! before edge points are detected. The gradient consists of three components in three diagonal directions. This detection scheme guarantees a well-balancing load among the slave nodes. Its processing speed is greatly reduced through simultaneous and parallel processes on sub-images. Its accuracy is enhanced by a better approximation of the gradient component.
