| Abstract | Most image processing applications are characterized by computation-intensive operations, and high memory and performance requirements. Parallelized implementation on shared-memory systems offer an attractive solution to this class of applications. However, we cannot thoroughly exploit the advantages of such architectures without proper modeling and analysis of the application. In this paper, we describe our implementation of a 3D facial pose tracking system using the OpenMP platform. Our implementation is based on a design methodology that uses coarse-grain dataflow graphs to model and schedule the application. We present our modeling approach, details of the implementation that we derived based on this modeling approach, and associated performance results. The parallelized implementation achieves significant speedup, and meets or exceeds the target frame rate under various configurations |
