Abstract
The need for highly accurate classification systems capable of working on real-time applications has increased in recent years. Nowadays, several computer vision tasks apply a classification step as part of bigger systems, hence requiring classification models that work at a fast pace. This rendered interesting the concept of real-time object classification to several research communities. In this paper, we propose to accelerate a bio-inspired model for object classification, which has given very good results when compared with other state-of-the-art proposals using the compute unified device architecture (CUDA) and exploiting computational capabilities of graphic processing units. The classification model that is used is called the artificial visual cortex, a novel bio-inspired approach for image classification. In this work, we show that through an implementation of this model in the CUDA framework it is possible to achieve real-time functionality. As a result, the proposed system is able to process images in average of up to 90 times faster than the original system.
