Description

Computer vision has been revolutionizing a wide range of industries, and OpenCV is the most widely chosen tool for computer vision with its ability to work in multiple programming languages. Nowadays, in computer vision, there is a need to process large images in real time, which is difficult to handle for OpenCV on its own. This is where CUDA comes into the picture, allowing OpenCV to leverage powerful NVDIA GPUs. This book provides a detailed overview of integrating OpenCV with CUDA for practical applications. To start with, you’ll understand GPU programming with CUDA, an essential aspect for computer vision developers who have never worked with GPUs. You’ll then move on to exploring OpenCV acceleration with GPUs and CUDA by walking through some practical examples. Once you have got to grips with the core concepts, you’ll familiarize yourself with deploying OpenCV applications on NVIDIA Jetson TX1, which is popular for computer vision and deep learning applications. The last chapters of the book explain PyCUDA, a Python library that leverages the power of CUDA and GPUs for accelerations and can be used by computer vision developers who use OpenCV with Python. By the end of this book, you’ll have enhanced computer vision applications with the help of this book's hands-on approach.

What is custom duty/charge?

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order?

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges?

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.

この本は、CUDA,OpenCV,Jetson,PyCUDAについて解説されていますが、Jetsonは使用予定がないので評価していません。環境構築、基本的な仕組み・使い方までわかりやすく解説されています。CUDAについては比較的新しい情報が記載されているので、C/C++の知識があることが前提ですがCUDAの基礎知識を得るのには適していると思います。CUDAを使用すれば必ず高速化するわけではないので、特にカーネルパラメータの設定、スレッド、メモリ特性、CUDAストリームの内容はパフォーマンスを向上させるのに役に立ちます。より最新または高度な情報が知りたいときはNVIDIAが無料で公開しているドキュメントを参考にする必要がありますが、基礎知識があれば時間の節約になります。OpenCVについてはいくつかの関数が紹介されていますが、使い方のパターンがあるので似たようなものは簡単に試すことができます。画像処理の効果については主要なものは解説されています。それ以外は実験が必要です。OpenCVでCUDAを使用する場合は、OpenCVに定義されている場合はそれを使用し、そうでない場合はCUDAで自作するとよいでしょう。ちなみに、CUDA10.1+OpenCV4.4(VS2019でビルド)+GeForce RTX 2070の環境でサンプルコードが動作することは確認できました。紙面のサンプルコードは後半になるほど雑になってるので、注意が必要です。PyCUDAについてはサンプル数は少ないけれど、前半で紹介したようなことがPythonでもできることが解説されています。(C/C++を使用しない人はこの本はお勧めしません。)試しに機械学習で使用しているPython3.7の環境にインストールしてみたが、動作しなかった！！もしかしたらダウングレードが必要かもしれないが、実際に使うときに調べようと思う。

Robin T. Wernick Feb 28, 2020

I was looking for just this kind of concise introduction to Image analysis on several target areas. The documentation for combining these two technologies is sparse to say the least and this book not only had a precise introduction but also several detailed examples.I now know how to proceed with the object recognition that I was looking to apply to silicon disk defect analysis, but I also know how to speed it up by several hundred percent. I have several department managers in mind that I would love to tantalize with this information.This book should make it easier to make better technology for Computer Vision applications an I wish all the readers more success by reading it.

The book delivers a detailed introduction to CUDA and OpenCV on the Jetson Tx1 that is also applicable to other Nvidia GPUs.

Amazon Customer Dec 21, 2018

The book is a introduction to CUDA programming. The most important concepts are explained but not in detail. Performance optimization of CUDA programs are only briefly explained.
