Session 5: Image processing on multicore plateforms

This session proposes four papers, that, although all related to image processing, offer a great variety of algorithms, application domains and implementation targets. The algorithms include matrix processing, optical flow, the computation of image features with the Histogram of Oriented Gradients and hyperspectral imaging. The implementation targets include Intel processors, ASIPs, FPGAs and a Massively Parallel Processor Array. The session can thus appeal to all researchers interested in the implementation of computationally intensive image processing algorithms on a variety of platforms.
