Challenge
Argos Solutions provides scanners for plate manufacturers in the building materials and furniture industries. The function of these scanners is to detect defects on surfaces and sort according to quality criteria. The scanners incorporate line scanning cameras that deliver a continuous stream of images. Argos aims to leverage GPU in image processing to optimize and offload the workload on the CPU in their scanning processes. The increasing complexity associated with image processing has created a need for a more efficient solution. Argos acknowledges that traditional CPU approaches may be limiting and therefore views GPU as a potential solution to enhance processing efficiency. By exploring the transition from CPU to GPU, Argos seeks to address the technical challenges associated with handling image data and difference calculations.
