This wiki is a user guide for our CUDA ISP for NVIDIA Jetson project. What is CUDA ISP for NVIDIA Jetson?
CUDA ISP is a RidgeRun library developed to provide an alternative approach to image signal processing using CUDA rather than NVIDIA's Jetson ISP. Since our library's CUDA algorithms run on the GPU, they reduce the CPU usage. It is intended to be used in programs that require a large amount of CPU usage, so by using CUDA ISP, the CPU does not have to take into account the processing done by NVIDIA's Jetson ISP resulting in a better performance of the application by letting the GPU handle the processing. It can also be used with GStreamer applications. The algorithms provided by the CUDA ISP are:

RidgeRun also makes a binary-only evaluation version available. Please refer to Contact Us to get an evaluation binary. Use casesCUDA ISP provides an alternative solution to reduce CPU usage by allowing the GPU handle the image processing.
If you ever found yourself overloading the CPU processing capacity, the GPU can handle it via CUDA ISP. | |||||||||||||||||
Computers with x86 architecture does not have a built-in ISP. By adding a discrete GPU to the architecture, CUDA ISP can be used as an alternative processor.
Developing artificial intelligence (AI) applications, such as computer vision, can require intensive computations in which the GPU can help with the processing.
Using cameras in applications require CPU processing for capturing images. Applications that may use many cameras can overload the CPU processing capacity affecting the performance of the CPU for non-related camera data processing. By letting the GPU handle the image processing of the cameras, the CPU can focus on processing data for the other elements in the application.
Streaming applications require lots of CPU processing as well. By letting the GPU handle it with CUDA ISP, the CPU will be freed for other processing tasks. Tested PlatformsSince CUDA ISP is a C++ library, it can be run on different platforms:
