Abstract -
Systems now days are requiring huge database and
massive power of computation. This cannot be gained using the
available computation technology or computers. Execution time
and large data processing are problems which are usually
encountered in highly demanded applications such as multimedia
processing. Grid computing technology offers a possible solution
for computational intensive applications. Canny edge detection
algorithm is known as the optimum algorithm for edge detection
that performs edge detection in five different and
computationally extensive stages, which consume large
processing time. In this work, grid computing is used to perform
Canny edge detection as an application of grid computing in
multimedia processing. Univa grid engine is used the
middleware for the proposed grid system. It is demonstrated
here that the proposed grid based solution that integrates grid
computing technology into Canny edge detection reduces the
processing time while preserving the expected performance of
Canny edge detection. The time reduction factor is about three
times for the adopted grid system and may become better with
careful selection of the communication networks technology.
