The parallel algorithm is implemented using MPI message passing library and master/slave algorithm. Every processor performs the same sequential algorithm but on different part of the image. Experimental results conducted on Beowulf cluster are presented to demonstrate the performance of the parallel algorithm. © Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2010. %Z cited By 10; Conference of 2009 International Conference on Systems, Computing Sciences and Software Engineering, SCSS 2009, Part of the International Joint Conference on Computer, Information, and Systems Sciences, and Engineering, CISSE 2009 ; Conference Date: 4 December 2009 Through 12 December 2009; Conference Code:97343
