Abstract


The main purpose of digitalized image processing is to enhance the quality of images and subsequently to facilitate the process of feature classification and extraction. This process is effectively utilized in healthcare imaging, computer visioning, astronomy, meteorology, and remote sensing among other essential fields. The main issue is that this technique takes a lot of time even though it provides convenient and efficient means of addressing the prevailing issue. In this paper, we shall provide a comparative evaluation of the present contributions adding to the application of parallel image processing including their limitations and benefits. Another key segment of research in this paper is to evaluate parallel computing, presently available techniques, tools and architecture in different image processing applications. As such, this paper is purposed to critically evaluate the role of parallel imaging in the field of healthcare imaging.
