Fast and selection algorithms with application to median filtering Instructor : T.-Y. Liang Reporter : Shiuh-Pyng Yang
Reference papers : • IEEE TRANSACTION ON PARALLEL AND DISTRIBUTED, VOL. 14, NO. 10, OCTOBER 2003.
Abstract : • The main contribution is first design fast and scalable parallel algorithms for selection and median filtering on the array with reconfigurable optical buses (AROB). • This is the most time efficient algorithm for N*N image and a W*W window, especially compared to the other median filter.
Outline : • Introduction • Theory • Conclusion
Introduction : • Median filter is a very important nonlinear filter used in image processing to eliminate noise. • In real-time image processing, such as military and industrial applications, the speed of computations is very important. • Some algorithms derived in the parallel computation models with optical buses and a straightforward serial algorithm takes
Computational model and basic notations : • A linear processors array with pipelined buses (LAPPB) of size N contains N processors connected the optical bus with two couplers. • One is used to write data on the upper(transmitting) segment of the bus and the other is used to read the data from the lower(receiving)segment of the bus.

Conclusion : • This is the first constant time median filtering algorithm to be developed on any parallel computational models. • The AROB(algorithm on the arrays with reconfigurable optical buses) is useful for solving images problems and its computational power is superior than that of other existing reconfigurable network.
