BACKGROUND TO THE PROBLEM
■ estimating the performance of image processing programs
■ The digital image processing has been considered as the vast research area
that includes both the pure theoretical practices and the works dedicated for
solving any specific problem
■ The operation of the GPU accelerated remote sensing processing is
significantly troublesome
■ the parallel strategies as well as the codes and algorithms for the GPU
accelerated remote sensing image processing could be commonly not
reusable
■ when changing the conditions or specific features of the objects, the
efficiency of the programs is sharply decreased.

LITERATURE REVIEW
■ GPU computing utilises the GPU as the co-
processor for accelerating the CPUs among all
the common- intention technical as well as the
engineering computing (Chen, 2015)
■ CPU comprise of numerous cores, while GPU
comprises of hundreds of ones (Damiand &
Lienhardt, 2014).
■ The GPU general computing is controlled by
programmability of the respective hardware
(Mori et al., 2018).
■ The CUDA parallel computing purpose
executing on the GPU could be referred as the
kernel or the (kernel function) (Russ, 2016)
■ Some research has been carried for increasing
the GPU algorithm library within these high-
level language (Sonka, Hlavac & Boyle, 2014).
■ Groups of the symmetric multi-processors
(SMP) are prevalent in the high performance
computing (Tanimoto, 2014)
■ .

RESEARCH QUESTION
■ What is the best programming template for the massive remote
sensing image processing?
■ How can the quality of the images from the various remote sensing
devices be enhanced and improved for better understanding?
■ How does enhanced image processing helps in the modern era and
how it can be effectively utilised by the humans?
■ What are the most appropriate algorithms that could be developed for
the enhancing of any kind of image?

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE
PROBLEM
■ It is clear that with the development of the
modern era image processing needs, there
is the major requirement of extracting the
best quality image for using in various
aspects.
■ The problem of not having the suitable
methods for the extraction of the images
leads to the lack of gaining the effective
visual data for analysis in various sectors.
■ The lack of appropriate algorithm for the
gaining of valuable images that could be
utilised for the analysis plays a significant
role in this research.
■ The image processing systems without the
improved and the modern and updated
technology could not capture the suitable
image data for analysis.

AIMS OF THE RESEARCH
■ The aim of this research is to determine which algorithms is suitable
for processing the computer images
■ This research aims to provide the generic idea about the working of
the computer image processing system and then propose the most
appropriate solution for the problems faced while image processing.

RESEARCH STRATEGY,
APPROACH AND
METHODOLOGY■ The research methodology that has been applied are the analysis of
the various kinds of algorithms for the determining of the accurate
algorithm and the system for gaining the enhanced images for the
analysis.
■ For the boundary detection problem, a number of wellknown program
mplementations of the algorithms based on the methods of the earlier
researchers
■ The method that is based on the simulation of the neurophysiological
processes of visual information processing is utilised for gaining the
solution for some of the problems associated with the image
processing

DATA GATHERING AND
ANALYSIS TECHNIQUES
■ The legitimacy of template in the GPU parallel program could be confirmed
by executing the GPU parallel trials of the three characteristic algorithms on
basis of the template.
■ Several algorithms of remote sensing image processing are applied on the
uppermost section of templates
■ In grouping of the logarithmic transformation, image inversion, Point
operations and the NDVI calculation have been nominated
■ In grouping of local operations, Gaussian filtering image and rotation have
been chosen
■ In grouping of global operations, and Fourier transform, and histogram
algorithm have been chosen

RIGOR, VALIDITY, RELIABILITY
AND ETHIC
■ The ethics could be applied in the research as it deals with the
analysis of the computer images that might sometime be of
significant importance to any other individual
■ The gaining of the images was done by the permission from the
proper government authorisation and the individuals who were
selected for the analysis of the proper technique for computer image
processing was done with the consent of every individual
■ The research is valid all through the complete cycle and there are no
violation of the ethics of the individuals
