Graphics and Video Algorithms in GP-GPU

This diploma thesis is focused on object detections through general-purpose computing on graphics processor units. There is an explanation of graphics adapters work and basics of their architecture in this thesis. Based on the adapters, there is the effective work in libraries for general-purpose computing on graphics processor units demonstrated in this thesis. Further, the thesis shows the available algorithms for object detection and which ones from them are possible to be effectively parallelized. In conclusion of this thesis, there is a comparison of the object detections speeds to common implementations on classical processors
