CUDACasts Episode 21: Porting a simple OpenCV sample to the Jetson TK1 GPU

Oct 13, 2014

By Mark Ebersole

In the previous CUDACasts episode, we saw how to flash your Jetson TK1 to the latest release of Linux4Tegra, and install both the CUDA toolkit and OpenCV SDK. We’ll continue exploring the power efficiency the Jetson TK1 Kepler-based GPU brings to computer vision by porting a simple OpenCV sample to run on the GPU. We’ll explore computer vision further in a future CUDACast when we look at the VisionWorks toolkit from NVIDIA.
