Ask HN: Good topics for undergrad thesis related to GPU Programming

3 pointsskywalker2123 comments

I am in the final semester of my college and I am looking for a topic for my undergraduate thesis, it must be related to GPU Programming cause I want to explore that area. I would like to work on a problem that involves Image Processing. I have looked at several research papers but I would like to work on something which is untouched.

Might I suggest parallelization of an algorithm never mind , already available for median filter. Since OpenCV is available I can not think of a single algorithm that is not adapted for GPU. Stitching is now performed in real time by using GPU Hough transforms for circles and rectangles is done already so sorry for the rambling, but I can't think of anything i use that has not been implemented on the GPU

Well this seens quite tricky given the amount of investments on this field. Does an undergraduate thesis require you to come up with fresh results, or is just an overview enough?

an overview is enough but I have looked up on the internet and can't come up with anything on my own.
