TorchMorph brings GPU acceleration to morphological transforms

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

TorchMorph is a new PyTorch extension that brings morphological transforms to the GPU, addressing the limitations of existing CPU-only implementations like SciPy's. It offers 22 CUDA-accelerated operators for various morphology types and distance transforms, supporting up to eight spatial dimensions. This allows for significant performance gains, with TorchMorph achieving up to 1,100x higher throughput than SciPy for greyscale morphology and 350x for distance transforms, while maintaining high accuracy.

    TorchMorph: CUDA-accelerated Morphological Transforms

    Morphological transforms are long-standing tools for shape and mask processing, but the de facto reference implementation in the Python ecosystem, i.e. scipy.ndimage, is CPU-only, single-array, and therefore unusable inside a GPU training loop without an expensive device-to-host …
