The brain processes sensory information rapidly due to parallel processing, which involves sending data across multiple neural pathways at the same time. This method allows the brain to manage various sensory qualities, such as shapes, colors, movements, and locations, all concurrently. For instance, when observing a forest landscape, the brain simultaneously processes the movement of leaves, the shapes of trees, the depth between them, and the various shades of green. This enables a quick and...

  • To evaluate the scalability of the proposed algorithm on multicore processors.

Main Methods:

  • A parallel algorithm was developed for RAT computation.
  • The approach utilizes a distributed computation of Homological Spanning Forest (HSF) for connected regions.
  • A classical geometric algorithm determines spatial inclusion between segmented regions.

Main Results:

  • The implemented parallel algorithm successfully computes Region-Adjacency Trees.
  • The technique demonstrates excellent scalability when executed on multicore processors.
  • The distributed HSF computation and geometric inclusion methods are effective.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed parallel algorithm offers an efficient solution for generating Region-Adjacency Trees from 2D image segmentations.
