fastHOG - a real-time GPU implementation of HOG
نویسندگان
چکیده
We introduce a parallel implementation of the histogram of oriented gradients algorithm for object detection. Our implementation uses the GPU and the NVIDIA CUDA framework. We achieve speedups of over 67x from the standard sequential code, using a single video card. Furthermore it supports multiple video cards so speedups of 120x or more can be achieved. This allows us to achieve real-time performance, using the full HOG algorithm for the first time in the literature. All of this is done while keeping compatibility with the standard sequential implementation. Finally our implementation is available online and is open source.

Implementation of the direction of arrival estimation algorithms by means of GPU-parallel processing in the Kuda environment (Research Article)
Direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation of audio signals is critical in different areas, including electronic war, sonar, etc. The beamforming methods like Minimum Variance Distortionless Response (MVDR), Delay-and-Sum (DAS), and subspace-based Multiple Signal Classification (MUSIC) are the most known DOA estimation techniques. The mentioned methods have high computational complexity. Hence using...

متن کاملAn approach to Improve Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm Using CUDA
The time consumption in solving computationally heavy problems has always been a concern for computer programmers. Due to simplicity of its implementation, the PSO (Particle Swarm Optimization) is a suitable meta-heuristic algorithm for solving computationally heavy problems. However, despite the simplicity, the algorithm is inefficient for solving real computationally heavy problems but the pr...
متن کاملHOG Features on the GPU
Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG) features are a trending topic in object detection literature. HOG features are a robust way of describing local object appearances and shapes by their distribution of intensity gradients or edge directions, and have been used successfully as a low level feature in a number of object recognition tasks. Human faces are generally considered interesting and imp...
متن کاملSliding-Windows for Rapid Object Class Localization: A Parallel Technique
This paper presents a fast object class localization framework implemented on a data parallel architecture currently available in recent computers. Our case study, the implementation of Histograms of Oriented Gradients (HOG) descriptors, shows that just by using this recent programming model we can easily speed up an original CPUonly implementation by a factor of 34, making it unnecessary to us...
