ClGaussianPyramid
=================
Experiments on Gaussian Pyramid implemented using OpenCL. 

This project implements ideas and algorithms detailed in the following

Requisites
----------
* OpenCL <http://www.khronos.org/opencl/>
* CMake <http://www.cmake.org/>
* ImageMagick <http://www.imagemagick.org/>


Build instructions
------------------
The project uses the CMake build system, please refer to the cmake website
(<http://www.cmake.org/>) for documentation and tutorials.

By default, the projet only build the clgp library, a few more options and
modules are optionaly available:
* BUILD_JNI: Build the JNI bindings to be used with JOCL
 * Requires cmake >= 2.8.5, Java and JOCL (<www.jocl.org>)
* BUILD_GSPMODULE: Build the GSP module
 * Requires OpenCV >= 2.0 and the GSP (<https://github.com/twitwi/GSP/>)
* BUILD_TESTS: Build the tests

A few tips for the lazy:
If some of your headers or libraries are in an uncommon place, you can use
the CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH and CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH environment variables, for example
if you are using the headers from NVidia's SDK :
$ export CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH=[...]/NVIDIA_GPU_Computing_SDK/OpenCL/common/inc
or
$ setenv CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH=[...]/NVIDIA_GPU_Computing_SDK/OpenCL/common/inc
(you can specify multiples paths with the semicolumn (:) separator)
