GPU image and video processing SDK

CUDA Image & Video Processing SDK for NVIDIA GPUs

Fastvideo has designed high performance SDK for image and video processing on GPU. That SDK is a set of separate components which correspond to standard image processing pipeline for camera applications. We cover all image processing stages starting from camera raw image acquisition to JPEG compression with storage to RAM or HDD. All image processing is done completely on GPU and this leads to exceptionally high performance. We can also offer high speed imaging SDKs for non-camera applications.

GPU Image & Video Processing SDK Features

  • Image ingestion from a camera, frame grabber, HDD/SSD/RAM or GPU memory (PGM, BMP, PPM, JPG, YCbCr, RAW, DNG, byte array, OpenGL texture or PBO, etc.)
