This paper focuses on the minimization of the time of the dominant straight line detection in an image using Hough Transform algorithm. The idea is a mixture between two domains, namely image processing and multi-agent systems. The importance of this work comes from the relying of image processing techniques on hardware accelerations. This paper demonstrates how the distribution of a purely sequential processing on a set of agents leads to an improvement from time execution point of view. The purpose is to reduce the execution time of Hough transform technique through the distribution of the algorithm on a set of reactive agents. This may allow the exploitation of a parallel or distributed environment. The main idea is based on the division of similar repeated processing with different parameters on several agents. It is a SIMD-like architecture according to Flynn classification. The obtained results are promising in the way that the execution time is at least divided by 4 comparatively to the use of the algorithm in its sequential form.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
