%T Integration of Classification and Evaluation Procedures in the Implementation of Parallel Image Analysis Algorithms %A P. Brittan, M. C. Fairhurst %E Janet Edwards %B Proceedings of WoTUG\-14: Occam and the Transputer\-Current Developments %X The requirements of adaptability and high performance often dictate a parallel processing approach for cost\-effective algorithm implementation in many real\-time applications of image classification. The aim of this paper is twofold. First it seeks to illustrate that by giving careful consideration to the conceptual architecture of the image classifier and its implementation base levels of performance can be achieved. Second, it will discuss the principal features of implementing multi\-layer classifier algorithms, performance evaluation processes, and high\-speed data handling required for evaluation, over an array of transputers.
