High-Speed Tube Diameter Measurement Using GPU Thread-Level Parallelism

This paper presents a GPU-based acceleration method for tube diameter measurement in gastrointestinal medical images. An exhaustive image measurement algorithm is mapped onto the GPU thread architecture to enable massive parallel processing. Experimental results show that the proposed method reduces analysis time by approximately 99% compared with a CPU-based implementation.

Abstract

This paper presents a GPU-based acceleration method for tube diameter measurement in gastrointestinal medical images. An exhaustive image measurement algorithm is mapped onto the GPU thread architecture to enable massive parallel processing. Experimental results show that the proposed method reduces analysis time by approximately 99% compared with a CPU-based implementation.
