How to speedup image processing by parallel computing or multicore computing?

1 次查看(过去 30 天)
I have designed image processing systems, which takes the image, preprocess it and do data mining with classification three. The result (class number) of captured image is further transmitted by COM1 port.
Currently I can run 1 frame analysis per 0.1s. Unfortunately my Matlab uses only 1 CPU core of 8 available. Therefore current application is TOO slow for online usage.
How I could use the matlab’s multicore ability from main matlab window? With matlabpool(4), I could speed up calculations up to 4 times, i.e.
1. getting image snapshot.
2. sending to first available LAB.
3. Without sequential waiting of the result TAKE next snapshot -> send to second available LAB/worker. and so on..
4. Collecting classification results asynchronously and sending them to COM port.
So … How to do it? Any ideas?
Regards, Arunas

Most compute intensive parts of MATLAB are multi-threaded (i.e should use all the 8 cores). It might be worthwhile to use the profiler to identify bottlenecks and follow up on them to speed it up.

You can process your image in parallel using blockproc function.
blockproc(x, {32 32},"Use Parallel", true, func);
where x is your image matrix, {32 32} is the block size (you can increase the block size for better results), func can be any customized function you want to apply on your block.
Use parallel will spawn default numbers of workers. Another alternative would be to use this function on GPU for faster results as compared to CPU.
