We propose a SH-WFS centroids extraction algorithm tailored for the NVidia Jetson TX2, a compact, power-efficient ARM computer in which system and GPU memory is shared, thus eliminating the data transfer overhead. Preliminary testing on the implementation show a total elapsed time of 700us from the acquisition of a 500x500 pixels image to extraction of 18x18 centroids, which is within the specifications for an AO closed-loop frequency up to 1kHz and hence ready to be implemented in an AO controller.

Abstract

We propose a SH-WFS centroids extraction algorithm tailored for the NVidia Jetson TX2, a compact, power-efficient ARM computer in which system and GPU memory is shared, thus eliminating the data transfer overhead. Preliminary testing on the implementation show a total elapsed time of 700us from the acquisition of a 500x500 pixels image to extraction of 18x18 centroids, which is within the specifications for an AO closed-loop frequency up to 1kHz and hence ready to be implemented in an AO controller.
