Parallel Image Compression on a Workstationcluster Using PVM
نویسندگان
چکیده
Parallel image compression on a workstation-cluster is discussed. We introduce a parallel meta-algorithm for image compression which is well suited for every block based image compression scheme. This algorithm is explained in more detail in the case of fractal image compression. We present experimental results of a host/node implementation on a FDDI interconnected workstationcluster using PVM.

Parallel compact coding of satellite images with wavelet packets using PVM
Image compression methods that use wavelet transforms have been successful in providing high rates of compression while maintaining good image quality. Even superior to these wavelet techniques are methods based on wavelet packet decompositions. When processing satellite data the amount of data suggests to use a parallel approach. Wavelet packet decomposition with best basis selection is implem...
متن کاملA Simple Yet E ective Load Balancing Extension to thePVM Software
In this paper, a load balancing extension for the PVM software system is described. This extension includes slave processes, for obtaining host CPU load information, and a master process for gathering the load information. A programming interface is included to provide the PVM user with CPU load information and a load balancing process spawn. For tested applications , the load balancing extensi...
متن کاملA Novel Color Image Compression Method Using Eigenimages
Since the birth of multi–spectral imaging techniques, there has been a tendency to consider and process this new type of data as a set of parallel gray–scale images, instead of an ensemble of an n–D realization. Although, even now, some researchers make the same assumption, it is proved that using vector geometries leads to better results. In this paper, first a method is prop...

This paper presents an eecient massively parallel implementation on the CRAY T3D of a digital image sequence compression scheme based on a 3-D subband decomposition. This compression method has been selected to be implemented on the CRAY T3D for its high potential of parallelization, its high computational complexity and its scientiic interest. This implementation has been performed in C, using...
متن کاملPerformance analysis of distributed implementations of a fractal image compression algorithm
Fractal image compression provides an innovative approach to lossy image encoding, with a potential for very high compression ratios. Because of prohibitive compression times, however, the procedure has proved feasible in only a limited range of commercial applications. In this paper we demonstrate that, due to the independent nature of fractal transform encoding of individual image segments, f...
