GPU-Accelerated Vision for Robots: Improving System Throughput Using OpenCV and CUDA

OpenCV is an open source computer vision and machine learning library for C/C++/Python available for Windows, Linux, macOS, and Android platforms. It contains low-level image processing functions as well as high-level algorithms such as object identification, face recognition, and action classification in videos. OpenCV has become very popular, with more than 47,000 people in its user community and 18 million downloads (see https://opencv.org/about/). Under a Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD) license, it can be used for both academic and commercial applications.
