ros_patch_match

Travis CI status:

Implementation of PatchMatch algorithm (CPU and GPU version) as a ROS service. The GPU(CUDA) version is much faster than CPU version

Usage:

1. Run ROS master: roscore
2. Start ROS PatchMatch service: rosrun ros_patch_match ros_patch_match_node
3. Call service from client. The parameters of service client are explained in the srv folder

The output is reconstructed_image and ann_image from the PatchMatch algorithm.
