Abstract:

Low computational rate and poor performance in real?time signal processing are the main problems for the median filtering algorithm in the practical applications. This paper proposed a high?speed parallel median filtering algorithm based on Graphics Processing Unit (GPU). The algorithm uses Compute Unified Device Architecture (CUDA) to optimize large?scale data processing and it is implemented on NVIDIA GPUs to improved its computational efficiency. The GPU′s dynamic memory space is allocated by constructing GPU?scalable dynamic array and optimization of multidimensional index linearization methods. Experiment results show that, the 5×5 median filtering based on TITAN X GPU is approximately 438x faster than CPU algorithm for processing of 4096×4096 pixel images. The GPU based median filtering can greatly improve the computing performance of algorithm under the same computing conditions.
