Abstract
We present a massively parallel object recognition system based on a cortex-like structure. Due to its nature, this general, biologically motivated system can be parallelized efficiently on recent many-core graphics processing units (GPU). By implementing the entire pipeline on the GPU, by rigorously optimizing memory bandwidth and by minimizing branch divergence, we achieve significant speedup compared to both recent CPU as well as GPU implementations for reasonably sized feature dictionaries. We demonstrate an interactive application even on a less powerful laptop which is able to classify webcam images and to learn novel categories in real time.
