Client-Server Imaging
A particularly powerful feature of JAI is its capability to distribute processing across a network. Although the typical application might have no need for this capability, distributed imaging is a powerful weapon for many advanced applications. Examples include telemedicine and online gaming and commerce. The basic idea of client-server imaging involves the use of Java's Remote Method Invocation (RMI). The client instantiates a stub object that conveys its methods to the host through serialization (basically, turning your objects into a stream).
Now, imagine that you have a client acting as an image acquisition machine and want to perform a mathematically complex series of image processing operations on that data while ...
