Parallel algorithm for generating template representation based on non-orthogonal binary subspace
Non-orthogonal Binary Subspace (NBS) is an essential image representation method
whose major advantage is to support high-efficiency image matching. However
generating NBS is itself time-consuming which makes the method difficult to be applied in real-time applications. In this paper
a parallel template-generating algorithm based on Compute Unified Device Architecture (CUDA) is proposed. The generating procedures are divided into three phases in our approach. For each phase
parallel task distribution is used to fully utilize the capability of the GPU. Experimental results demonstrate that our algorithm achieves 60~120 times speed-up
compared to the same template-generating task on the CPU. Additionally
we apply our algorithm on the template-matching problem
and observe significant improvement in efficiency.
