In this paper, to meet the demand of the real-time applications, SIFT is parallelized and optimized on cluster system, which is named pSIFT. Redundancy storage and communication are used for boundary data to improve the performance, and before representation of feature descriptor, data reallocation is adopted to keep load balance in pSIFT. Experimental results show that pSIFT achieves good speedup and scalability.}, journal = {International Journal of Computer and Information Engineering}, volume = {6}, number = {4}, year = {2012}, pages = {461 - 465}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/14966}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/64}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 64, 2012}, }
