说明：  图像处理 并行处理 matlab Since images can be represented by 2D or 3D matrices and the MATLAB processing engine relies on matrix representation of all entities, MATLAB is particularly suitable for implemen‐ tation and testing of image processing workflows. The Image Processing Toolbox ™ (IPT) includes all the necessary tools for general-purpose image processing incorporating more than 300 functions which have been optimised to offer good accuracy and high speed of processing. Moreover, the built-in Parallel Computing Toolbox ™ (PCT) has recently been expanded and now supports graphics processing unit (GPU) acceleration for some functions of the IPT. However, for many image processing applications we still need to write our own code, either in MATLAB or, in the case of GPU-accelerated applications requiring specific control over GPU resources, in CUDA (Nvidia Corporation, Santa Clara, CA, USA).
(the first part is dedicated to some essential tools of the IPT that can be used in image analysis and assessment as well as in extraction of useful information for further processing and assessment. These include retrieving information about digital images, image adjustment and processing as well as feature extraction and video handling. The second part is dedicated to GPU acceleration of image processing techniques either by using the built-in PCT functions or through writing our own functions. Each section is accompanied by MAT‐ LAB example code. )
