This book contains a selection of papers presented at the Fourth International Workshop on Parallel Image Analysis, held at the Laboratoire de l'Informatique du Parallélisme of the Ecole Normale Supérieure de Lyon, France. It is representative of the traditional topics of the workshop, from theoretical models for parallel image analysis to real life applications implemented on parallel multicomputers.

• Nonclosure Properties of Two-Dimensional One-Marker Automata (A Ito et al.)
• Parallel Distributed Detection of an Invariant Feature Associated with Self-Similar Patterns (K Kamejima)
• Parallel Tools for Colored Image Processing (V Lozano et al.)
• Asynchronous Relaxation of Morphological Operators: A Joint Algorithm-Architecture Perspective (F Robin et al.)
• Fast Local and Global Illuminations Through a Simid Z-Buffer (C Renaud)
• A Load Balanced Parallel Ground Visualization Tool (S Contassot-Vivier)
• Modeling 3D Deformable Object with the Active Pyramid (P-J Reissman & I E Magnin)
• Complexity Analysis of a Parallel Implementation of the Marching-Cubes Algorithm (S Miguet & J-M Nicod)
