Abstract
A computer-implemented method for method for detecting features in an image. The method includes receiving first and second images at one or more processors. The method also includes processing the first and second images to detect one or more features within the first and second images respectively. The method further includes generating a third image based on processed portions of the first and second images and outputting the third image to another processor. A mobile computing device and GPU are also provided.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method for detecting features in images, the method comprising:
- retrieving, by one or more processors, first image data from memory;
- retrieving, by the one or more processors, second image data from the memory;
- processing, by the one or more processors, the retrieved first image data to identify one or more features of a first image and to generate first processed image data based on the identified one or more features of the first image;
- processing, by the one or more processors, the retrieved second image data to identify one or more features of a second image and to generate second processed image data based on the identified one or more features of the second image;
- and
- storing the first and second processed image data in the memory.
A device for detecting features in images, the device comprising:
- memory configured to store image data;
- and
- one or more processors operatively coupled to the memory, the one or more processors being configured to:
- retrieve first image data from the memory;
- retrieve second image data from the memory;
- process the retrieved first image data to identify one or more features of a first image and to generate first processed image data based on the identified one or more features of the first image;
- process the retrieved second image data to identify one or more features of a second image and to generate second processed image data based on the identified one or more features of the second image;
- and
- store the first and second processed image data in the memory.
A system for processing features in images, the system comprising:
- a first processor including memory configured to store image data;
- and
- a second processor operatively coupled to the first processor;
- wherein the first processor is configure to:
- retrieve first image data from the memory;
- retrieve second image data from the memory;
- process the retrieved first image data to identify one or more features of a first image and to generate first processed image data based on the identified one or more features of the first image;
- process the retrieved second image data to identify one or more features of a second image and to generate second processed image data based on the identified one or more features of the second image;
- store the first and second processed image data in the memory;
- and
- output a third image to the second processor in accordance with at least one of the first and second processed image data, and
- wherein the second processor is configure to:
- send the first and second image data to the memory of the first processor;
- and
- receive the third image from the first processor.
