Abstract

Parallel processing of an image using an array of addressable registers. Image features are extracted from the image. The image features are storable as data. According to respective values of a sorting key derived from a parameter of the data, the image features are sorted into N buckets. Using an array of M addressable registers, where M is less than N, the data are summed within the buckets to perform a histogram of the image features, according to values of a histogram key derived from said a parameter of the data.
