Abstract
A method for histogramming the pixel values of image data elements, on a distributed processing system, is disclosed. First, the data elements are formed into a data string. Next, the data string is partitioned into a plurality of homogeneous filaments each composed only of data elements having the same pixel value. Finally, the number of data elements composing each homogeneous filament is determined, the determined number being the histogram result for the pixel value corresponding to that homogeneous filament.
