Getting Started With GPU-Accelerated Computer Vision Using OpenCV and CUDA

OpenCV is a free library for research and commercial purposes that includes hundreds of optimized computer vision and image processing algorithms. NVIDIA and Itseez have optimized many OpenCV functions using CUDA on desktop machines equipped with NVIDIA GPUs. These functions are 5 to 100 times faster in wall-clock time compared to their CPU counterparts. Anatoly […]
