Abstract
This paper presents the parallel image processing package MMIPPS (multitemporal and multispectral image processing on parallel systems) developed in a project of the partly EC funded Parallel Computing Initiative II. Image classification and rectification are computational intensive image processing routines, capable to benefit from parallelization. This paper reports the development approach and the performance results achieved on standard networks of PC’s and workstations. It is shown, that the MMIPPS package provides the expected results and speed-ups for the selected image processing tasks, leading to shorter completion times and a more efficient service.
