Deploying Computer Vision Applications on Jetson TX1

The previous chapter described the installation of OpenCV and CUDA on a Jetson TX1 development board. This chapter will describe how to use these features on the board. The properties of the Jetson TX1 GPU that make it useful for parallel processing will be described in detail. The chapter will also describe how we can execute the CUDA and C++ codes, seen earlier in this book, on Jetson TX1. It will also demonstrate the performance of the Jetson TX1 GPU in executing CUDA code. The primary motive of this chapter will be to demonstrate the use of Jetson TX1 in deploying image- and video-processing applications. Basic image-processing applications such as image reading, displaying, addition, thresholding, and filtering are taken as examples to demonstrate the use of Jetson TX1 for computer vision applications. Moreover, camera...
