HI there,
I'm wondering if anyone has knowledge with GPU programming using CUDA.
1-As i know, Panda Board has GPU, so what about programming this unit?
2-Also, I'm thinking about nVIDIA GPUs but i saw lots of very heavy cards on their website,i do believe it will provides great processing power with low anticipated power consumption if it is used on UAVs to make feature extraction and feature matching as an example of high computation requirements ,did anyone try it for Quadrotors or any x-rotor ?
3-And if so what is the recommended GPU board ?
Any opinion is more than appreciated,
Thanks in advance

I'm pretty sure that the panda board (looks similar to the beagle board) doesn't work with CUDA, which I believe is nvidia only. Its possible that it will work with OpenCL, but I'd be a bit surprised there too.
When you have an actual nvidia GPU installed, OpenCV has a lot of stuff that is optimized for it, for your imaging needs:
