Top-Hat Filtering to Remove Uneven Background Illumination on NVIDIA Jetson TX2 Developer Kit

Deploy Image Processing Toolbox™ algorithms to NVIDIA® Jetson TX2 board using the GPU Coder™ Support Package for NVIDIA GPUs. The imtophat (Image Processing Toolbox) function that performs morphological top-hat filtering on a grayscale image is used as an example to demonstrate this concept. Top-hat filtering computes the morphological opening of the image (using imopen (Image Processing Toolbox)) and then subtracts the result from the original image. The generated CUDA® code uses shared memory to speed up the operations on the GPU.
