Adding OCL and GPU support

Open minusplusminus opened this issue 10 years ago • 2 comments

Hi, I would like to know if you are going to add OCL and GPU support in the future?

With kind regards,

Martijn

i don't have any plans right now, but i am open to suggestions and ideas. if you have a proposal for how it could be cleanly integrated i'd be glad to hear!

the main issue i'm worried about is cross platform compatibility. you shouldn't have to think about whether code written with ofxCv works on one platform or another.

a secondary, easier issue is that the OF opencv libs aren't compiled with opencl support so we'd have to lobby to have it included, since i'm not planning on shipping opencv libs with ofxCv.

I see this is a very old issue, but I would like to see GPU support added as well. My current use case is for face detection. My current frame rates are usable (about 15 FPS), but using other frameworks I know this machine can do much better when leveraging the GPU.
