OpenCV functions for Python and gpu

Question

I want to know if it is possible to use opencv gpu functions like here ? Or should I wrap it in a python class.

Answer 1

Right now, OpenCV 2.4.7 does not support the GPU module on OpenCV-Python .

This means that you must write the wrappers yourself .

Answer 2

To answer the question in the fbence comment in the accepted answer, this is now possible with OpenCV 3 and Python 2.7+ or Python 3+. However, the OpenCV 3 GPU module must be compiled from the source.

Assuming you are running on a Linux system, you can follow these guidelines:

• For OpenCV 3 GPUs and Python 2.7+, follow this guide .
• For OpenCV 3 GPUs and Python 3, follow this guide from step 0 to step 5.
