| Abstract | Embedded three-dimensional (3D) Computer Vision (CV) is considered a technology enabler for future consumer applications, attracting a wide interest in academia and industry. However, 3D CV processing is a computation-intensive task. Its high computational cost is directly related to the processing of 3D point clouds, with the 3D descriptor computation representing one of the main bottlenecks. Understanding the main computational challenges of 3D CV applications, as well as the key characteristics, enabling features, and limitations of current computing platforms, is clearly strategic to identify the directions of evolution for future embedded processing systems targeting 3D CV. In this work, an innovative and complex 3D descriptor (called SHOT) has been ported on a high-end and an embedded computing platform. The high-end system is composed by a high-performance Intel CPU coupled with a Nvidia GPU. The embedded platform is, instead, composed by an ARM-based processor, coupled with the STHORM accelerator. STHORM is a many-core low-power accelerator developed by ST Microelectronics, featuring up to 64 computational units. The SHOT descriptor has been parallelized using the OpenCL programming model for both platforms. Finally, we have performed an in-depth performance comparison and analysis between general-purpose processors and accelerators in both high-end and embedded domains, discussing and highlighting the main differences in the Hardware/Software (HW/SW) design methodologies and approaches between high-end and embedded systems targeting 3D CV applications. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
