8.5 Conclusion

The advantage of CA in image processing lies in their ability to exploit local regional
properties, whilst allowing global image effects. Moreover, CA have bounded space
complexity and, in most cases, provide time efficient (real-time) solutions to image
processing problems. From a practical point of view, implementation software is
easy to implement, maintain and extend. On the negative side, explicit transforma-
tion rules may need to be found for different scenarios—however, learning the rules
is a possibility.
