Abstract
There has been an increasing interest in the analysis of image data with high-speed parallel hardware. The advent of VLSI technology spurred the construction of such systems and several practical commercial applications appeared in the late 70's. Much work has been done to develop parallel processors for low level image processing. However, in the image analysis field an highly effective solution, till now, has not been found. In this paper the nature of image processing tasks is outlined and the organization of the multiprocessor systems which have been developed for these tasks are reviewed.
