DirectShow Filters on CUDA

DirectShow Filter is probably the easiest way to connect a camera to PC in Windows. This is also a method to incorporate image processing features in the solution without any programming for user. We are offering CUDA-accelerated image processing features as DirectShow Filters.

DirectShow Codecs on CUDA

• 8-bit Motion JPEG
• 12-bit Motion JPEG
• Raw bayer codec (8/12 bits)
• JPEG2000 codec (8-16 bits)

DirectShow Rendering Pipeline on CUDA

• Dark frame subtraction (FPN)
• Flat-Field Correction (Shading Correction)
• White Balance
• High quality demosaicing
• Wavelet-based denoising
• Color Correction with matrix profile
• Color Transforms: RGB->YCbCr->RGB, RGB->HSL->RGB, etc.
• 8/10/12/14/16-bit LUTs (composite or per-color component) for tone mapping
• Histograms for raw and processed data
• Crop
• Rotation (90/180/270 degrees) and flip/flop
• Resize (downscale and upscale)
• Gamma transform (composite or per-color component)
• Sharpening with Unsharp Mask filter (USM)
• Realtime output via OpenGL

Our DirectShow Filters are designed on the basis of our CUDA image processing SDK. Now our customers have opportunity to utilize CUDA-accelerated software components in their applications as a part of image or video processing pipeline.
