Recent advances in computer vision applications using parallel processing This comprehensive book is primarily intended for researchers computer vision specialists and high performance computing specialists who are interested in parallelizing computer vision techniques for the sake of accelerating the run time of computer vision methods. This book covers different penalization methods on different parallel architectures such as multi core CPUs and GPUs. It is also a valuable reference resource for researchers at all levels (e.g. undergraduate and postgraduate) who are seeking real life examples of speeding up the computer vision methods’ run time.
