Welcome to FastGeodis’s documentation!
Intro
FastGeodis provides efficient CPU (OpenMP) and GPU (CUDA) implementations of Generalised Geodesic Distance Transform in PyTorch for 2D and 3D input data based on parallelisable raster scan ideas from [1]. It includes methods for computing Geodesic, Euclidean distance transform and mixture of both.
2D images: 1 of 4 passes |
3D volumes: 1 of 6 passes |
The above raster scan method can be parallelised for each row/plane on an available device (CPU or GPU). This leads to significant speed up as compared to existing non-parallelised raster scan implementations (e.g. https://github.com/taigw/GeodisTK). Python interface is provided (using PyTorch) for enabling its use in deep learning and image processing pipelines.
See Methodology section for more details of the implemented algorithm.
