Description

Computer vision algorithms are computationally intensive; tailoring them for a resource constrained embedded processor like DSP is challenging. The performance improvements achieved by optimization can be huge. For example optimization of OpenCV's Pedestrian Detection on the C674x DSP improved the performance by a factor of > 200x. This application report is targeted towards engineers who develop
