complie and using opencv on gpu for image processing with python

Question

I want to do some image processing with python using Opencv library. actually i want to read a lot of images from an object storage and do some image processing on each image and want to do it as fast as possible. I want to compile and use Opencv on gpu instead of cpu to gain most speed.

is there anyway to using gpu for this purpose? (I know that it is possible with c++) is there GPU module in OpenCV for python? I didn't any wrapper for python.

Answer 1

Yes opencv does have gpu module in python 3. You can visit https://docs.opencv.org/2.4/modules/gpu/doc/introduction.html for more information. There are plenty of examples.

There is an example of gpu acceleration https://answers.opencv.org/question/203403/opencv-gpu-accelerated-using-python/
