Deployment

Deploy generated code to NVIDIA^® Tegra^® hardware targets

You can use GPU Coder™ with the GPU Coder Support Package for NVIDIA GPUs to deploy your MATLAB^® algorithms on embedded NVIDIA GPUs. Specifically, you can target the NVIDIA Jetson and DRIVE family of boards on either Windows^® or Linux^® systems. The GPU Coder Support Package for NVIDIA GPUs enables you to remotely communicate with the NVIDIA target and control the peripheral devices for prototyping. The MATLAB entry-point function is deployed as a standalone executable that continues to run even if the hardware live connection is disconnected from the host computer.

To install this support package, use the Add-On Explorer in MATLAB. For information on the supported development platforms, see Install and Setup Prerequisites for NVIDIA Boards (GPU Coder Support Package for NVIDIA GPUs).

Semantic Segmentation on NVIDIA DRIVE

Generate and deploy a CUDA® executable for an image segmentation application that uses deep learning. It uses the GPU Coder™ Support Package for NVIDIA® GPUs to deploy the executable on the NVIDIA DRIVE™ platform. This example performs code generation on the host computer and builds the generated code on the target platform by using remote build capability of the support package. For more information, see Code Generation for Semantic Segmentation Network.

Top-Hat Filtering to Remove Uneven Background Illumination on NVIDIA Jetson TX2 Developer Kit

Deploy Image Processing Toolbox™ algorithms to NVIDIA® Jetson TX2 board using the GPU Coder™ Support Package for NVIDIA GPUs. The imtophat (Image Processing Toolbox) function that performs morphological top-hat filtering on a grayscale image is used as an example to demonstrate this concept. Top-hat filtering computes the morphological opening of the image (using imopen (Image Processing Toolbox)) and then subtracts the result from the original image. The generated CUDA® code uses shared memory to speed up the operations on the GPU.

Deploy and Classify Webcam Images on NVIDIA Jetson TX2 Platform from Simulink

Deploy a Simulink® model on the NVIDIA® Jetson TX2 board for classifying webcam images. This example classifies images from a webcam in real-time by using the pretrained deep convolutional neural network, ResNet-50. The Simulink model in the example uses the camera and display blocks from the GPU Coder™ Support Package for NVIDIA GPUs to capture the live video stream from a webcam and display the prediction results on a monitor connected to the Jetson platform.

Deploy Signal Classifier on NVIDIA Jetson Using Wavelet Analysis and Deep Learning

Generate and deploy a CUDA® executable that classifies human electrocardiogram (ECG) signals using features extracted by the continuous wavelet transform (CWT) and a pretrained convolutional neural network (CNN).
