Abstract
DASUD (Diffusion Algorithm Searching Unbalanced Domains) algorithm has been implemented in an SPMD parallel-image thinning application to balance the workload in the processors as computation proceeds and was found to be effective in reducing computation time. The average performance gain is about 40% for a test image of size 2688x1440 on a cluster of 12 PC’s in a PVM environment.
