%% IMAGE_POOL demonstrates MATLAB's SPMD command for parallel programming.
%
%  Discussion:
%
%    The function reads in an image and adds noise to it.
%    It then divides the image up into R, G and B portions and expects
%    3 workers to filter the portions.
%    The function then returns the original, noisy, and filtered versions.
