GPU and CPU implementation of Young - Van Vliet's Recursive Gaussian Smoothing Filter

Abstract

This document describes an implementation for GPU and CPU of Young and Van Vliet's recursive Gaussian smoothing as an external module for the Insight Toolkit ITK, version 4.* www.itk.org. In the absence of an OpenCL-capable platform, the code will run the CPU implementation as an alternative to the existing Deriche recursive Gaussian smoothing filter in ITK.
