Robust estimation is used in a wide range of applications. One of the most popular algorithms for robust estimation is the random sample consensus (RANSAC) that achieves a high degree of accuracy even with a significant amount of outliers. A major drawback of RANSAC is the fast increasing number of iterations caused by higher outlier ratios, resulting in increasing computational costs. In this paper FestGPU, a framework for Fast robust ESTimation on GPU, is presented which reaches a speedup of up to 135Â compared to a singlecore CPU. Together with a C?? and a Matlab interface the framework is made publicly available on the authors' website for the research community.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
