VLSI and Parallel Computing for Pattern Recognition and Artificial Intelligence.

This text covers parallel algorithms and architectures and VLSI chips for a range of problems in image processing, computer vision, pattern recognition and artificial intelligence.

The specific problems addressed include vision and image processing tasks, Fast Fourier Transform, Hough Transform, Discrete Cosine Transform, image compression, polygon matching, template matching, pattern matching, fuzzy expert systems and image rotation.

The collection of papers should give the new reader a good introduction to the state-of-the-art while for an expert, this sould serve as a good reference and a source of some new contributions in this field.
