How can i accelerate OpenCV functions

[yasin.kagan]

I want to accelerate BRIEF feature function into HW. Is there any way to toggle the OpenCV functions SW to HW.

Hi @yasin.kagan 

Please refer xfopencv examples

@yasin.kagan - Unfortunately Xilin's xfOpenCV does not come with BRIEF feature description. So you won't be able to just toggle BRIEF to hardware. You would have to write something on your own using HLS.  

I have written ORB in the past which is essentialy just a variant of BRIEF. It could take a few weeks to a few months of effort to write it in HLS depending on how skilled you are at writing HLS code.
