So for same operation opencv functions are preferred.
Opencv mat performance.
According to khronos group opencl open computing language is.
23 1s on my computer intel i7 8gb ram with opencv 2 4 1 the time elapsed is the computation loop is approx.
The umat class tells opencv functions to process images with an opencl specific code which uses an opencl enabled gpu if exists in the system automatically switching to cpu otherwise.
This feature was leveraged to make the camera image data accessible to opencv.
I even find that opencv can get better performance on data you gave us.
N dimensional dense array class.
But there can be exceptions especially when numpy works with views instead of copies.
Without opencv removing the two cv mat lines the opencv library is not linked.
Normally opencv functions are faster than numpy functions.
The mat is just a simple container for actual image data.
The class mat represents an n dimensional dense numerical single channel or multi channel array.
I didn t find such bug in opencv 3 2 when i run your code.
Everyone that uses opencv is familiar with cv mat.
In this case the time elapsed is the computation loop is approx.
It can be used to store real or complex valued vectors and matrices grayscale or color images voxel volumes vector fields point clouds tensors histograms though very high dimensional histograms may be better stored in a sparsemat.
Did you test your code on different opencv version or different machine.
With opencv 4 1 1 the time elapsed is the computation loop is approx.
Although some developers never heard about umat class and its advantages.
The image data from any camera can be.
More ipython magic commands.
We ran this test program.
