Parallel evolution of image processing tools for multispectral imagery

چکیده
We describe the implementation and performance of a parallel, hybrid evolutionary-algorithm-based system, which optimizes image processing tools for feature-finding tasks in multi-spectral imagery (MSI) data sets. Our system uses an integrated spatio-spectral approach and is capable of combining suitably-registered data from different sensors. We investigate the speed-up obtained by parallelization of the evolutionary process via multiple processors (a workstation cluster) and develop a model for prediction of run-times for different numbers of processors. We demonstrate our system on Landsat Thematic Mapper MSI , covering the recent Cerro Grande fire at Los Alamos, NM, USA.

A genetic algorithm for combining new and existing image processing tools for multispectral imagery
We describe the implementation and performance of a genetic algorithm (GA) which evolves and combines image processing tools for multispectral imagery (MSI) datasets. Existing algorithms for particular features can also be “re-tuned” and combined with the newly evolved image processing tools to rapidly produce customized feature extraction tools. First results from our software system were pres...
متن کاملParallel implementation of algorithms for standoff detection in hyperspectral imagery
Hyperspectral imaging systems, used in conjunction with appropriate detection and recognition algorithms, have demonstrated to be very appropriate tools for standoff detection in many different environments. Compared to other techniques available such as multispectral imaging, which typically collects only tens of images, hyperspectral instruments are capable of collecting hundreds of images, c...

متن کاملFusion of multispectral satellite imagery using a cluster of graphics processing unit
The paper presents a parallel implementation of existing image fusion methods on a graphical cluster. Parallel implementations of methods based on discrete wavelet transformation (Haar’s and Daubechie’s discrete wavelet transform) are developed. Experiments were performed on a cluster using GPU and CPU and performance gains were estimated for the use of the developed parallel implementations to...
