Several different parallel algorithms using function decomposition and/or data decomposition methods are compared and their performances are analyzed in terms of processor utilization, data traffic, shared memory access, and synchronization overhead. The analysis is validated through a simulation experiment on the virtual machine of 64 parallel processors. Conclusions are presented at the end of this paper.展开更多

This scheme is region-based and mainly focuses on two issues. Firstly, an appropriate segmentation algorithm is developed to partition an image into some irregular regions and tidy contours, where the crucial regions corresponding to objects are retained and a lot of tiny parts are eliminated. The irregular regions and contours are coded using different methods respectively in the next step. The other issue is the coding method of contours where an efficient and novel chain code is employed. This scheme tries to find a compromise between the quality of reconstructed images and the compression ratio. Some principles and experiments are conducted and the results show its higher performance compared with other compression technologies, in terms of higher quality of reconstructed images, higher compression ratio and less time consuming.展开更多
