This study describes the parallel implementation of a new computer vision technique, superquadric description. The use of superquadric primitives to extend the power of Constructive Solid Geometry for Computer Aided Design purposes was first proposed in [BARR 84]. The application of this technique for machine vision purposes was first published by Alex Pentland in [PENTL 86b]. This study developed a parallel least-squares solution technique to solve a slightly modified form of the regression equations originally derived in [PENTL 86b]. This technique is intended for execution on large arrays of bit-serial processors. Several ways have been suggested to interconnect the processing elements in such arrays, therefore the performance of this technique was estimated for three interconnection networks.Electrical and Computer Engineerin
