  • 2011-08-01 Military Aerospace: Video and image processing at the edge

    http://www.militaryaerospace.com/articles/print/volume-22/issue-8/technology-focus/video-and-image-processing-at-the-edge.html “Using just central processing units (CPUs), this process takes too much time to enable information to be viewed in real time, resulting in potentially outdated intelligence data and inaccurate guides for military action,” laments an Nvidia spokesperson. As a result, advanced image-processing software, such as Ikena ISR from MotionDSP in San Mateo, Calif., is being designed to harness the power of the GPU. Ikena ISR’s computationally intense, motion-tracking algorithms reconstruct video with cleaner detail, increased resolution, and reduced noise. ... read more.
