CUVI Features

CUVI SDK is an image processing kit written and developed on C-CUDA and C++ for over a period of ten years. The SDK includes 100+ image processing and computer vision functions that are plug-n-play for imaging applications in a plethora of verticals. Each function is hand crafted and highly optimized to run on CUDA supported GPUs. Many functions use our own proprietary approach to algorithms and processing to make the best out of hardware and input data.
