Hello dusty_nv,
many thanks for your comment.
First, i will try to make my Python software works with Jetson Nano. Then, i will see if i can get some improvements with PyCuda.
During this time, i will get back to C++ (last time i used it, it was in 1994 !). I will rewrite my software using C++ (at least camera setting and acquisition without real time filtering), trying to use GTK+ to replace Tkinter.
When this part will be ok, i will work on real time filtering :
- first, i will use opencv with Cuda improvements
- second, i will try to use pure Cuda if i can
It’s a long term project. If everything works well, i will think about using some 3D representation of image luminance (X,Y,Z representation) or other things like that.
I also want to see if i can make astrometry (it’s a bit like image recognition) in order to identify what we can see on a video capture). It could be quite interesting.

Maybe Nvidia is already involved with astrophotography treatment, working with NASA or ESO ? In the coming years, there will have some brand new professional telescopes and they will bring a huge among of data. Nvidia culd bring very interesting things to professional astronomy.
Concerning exo planets for example, Google (i am not sure but i thinks it’s Google) made an AI to look at data related to exo planet search. From what i know, the AI founded some exo planets scientists missed.
That kind of subject is really complex and needs very sharp knowledge about image processing and signal treatment. Nvidia has that kind of knowledge.
Have a nice day.
