Abstract: Existing OpenMP and thread-level parallel algorithms simply do not work when speedup the processing chain of remote sensing image.The pipeline is used to process this complex image processing chain on multi-core platforms.A parallel image processing method based on pipeline is presented.The realization of the software pipeline and how the large mission is divided to meet processing based on pipeline are discussed in detail.The advantages of the pipeline technology used in the chain-processing of remote sensing image are proved in the experiment.
