Motion estimation algorithm ported to GPU

September 15th, 2012 · No Comments




Motion estimation in an image sequence has many potential uses such as detecting and tracking moving objects. However, one potential drawback to its use is the computation time needed to run the motion estimation software.

Seeking to accelerate the process, researchers from the Illinois Institute of Technology (Chicago, IL, USA) have taken a general purpose block-matching algorithm which is commonly used for motion estimation and ported it to run on multiple NVIDIA (Santa Clara, CA, USA) GPU cards using the Compute Unified Device Architecture (CUDA) computing engine.
