GPU Accelerated Motion Detector

The GPU Accelerated Motion Detector is a motion detection solution that is optimized for specific hardware and uses the GPU for processing. The solution is made up of a library written in C++ and a GStreamer element that makes use of this library. By using the GPU for processing, the CPU is freed up to perform other activities, which can improve the overall system performance.

The algorithm works by detecting parts of the scene that have changed and highlighting them for the user. It is important to note that this solution is not a tracker that follows the movement of objects in the scene. Rather, it detects changes in the scene and notifies the user.

The solution is particularly effective on platforms that support CUDA, such as Jetson. CUDA is a parallel computing platform and programming model developed by NVIDIA for general computing on GPUs. By using CUDA, the GPU Accelerated Motion Detector can take full advantage of the capabilities of the hardware, resulting in faster processing times and improved performance.
