High Performance Parallel Remote Sensing Image Processing Based on CUDA

As the development of space remote sensing technology in recent years witnessed a geometric growth in the data size of remote sensing images. Consequently, the process of remote sensing images is faced with such challenges as large data size, high intensity, high computational complexity and large computational quantity, and so on. Based on the analysis of the parallel architecture of the latest GPU and the flexible programmability of CUDA (Computer Unified Device Architecture), this paper presents an efficient method for processing remote sensing images on the basis of CUDA. This paper takes FFT, edge detection and template matching, three common methods in remote sensing image processing, as examples, and details the efficient parallel processing procedures of them. The experiments on different images with different data size proved that GPU is 10 to 40 times faster than CPU, which is a dramatic progress in remote sensing image processing.
