In some sense, computer graphics and computer vision are inverses of one another. Special purpose computer vision hardware is rarely found in typical mass-produced personal computers, but graphics processing units (GPUs) found on most personal computers, often exceed (in number of transistors as well as in compute power) the capabilities of the Central Processing Unit (CPU). This paper shows speedups attained by using computer graphics hardware for implementation of computer vision algorithms by efficiently mapping mathematical operations of computer vision onto modern computer graphics architecture. As an example computer vision algorithm, we implement a real
