Implementation and Performance Evaluation of Intel VTUNE Image Processing Functions in the MATLAB Environment

Many current general purpose processors use extensions to the instruction set architecture to enhance the performance of digital image processing and multimedia applications. In this paper, a MATLAB Application Program Interface (API) is constructed for the performance evaluation of Intel image processing functions. The Intel image processing functions are constructed for high performance operations which have been optimized for Intel architecture processors. Several functions are developed and categorized within the following groups: arithmetic and logical comparison operations, morphological operations, geometric operations, filtering operations, point operations and linear transform operations. We present a comparison of image processing functions between MATLAB M-files, built-in functions and functions based on the Intel image processing library.
