The paper present a parallel implementation of an image processing algorithm for the on-line, non-destructive quality assurance of the non-woven, fibrous web materials. The task of the algorithm is to compute the material microstructure descriptors. The premise underlying this work is that the microstructure determines the performance of the material and characterization of the microstructure may be used to predict material performance. The algorithm for estimating material performance is derived for the use on the cellular neural network universal machine, fast parallel analog architecture which lends itself to real-time processing.
