Re: GRIP on an NVIDIA Jetson TK1

The Jetson TK1 comes prepackaged (once you run JetPack) with some neat libraries like VisionWorks and OpenCV4Tegra, which both take advantage of GPU acceleration. OpenCV4Tegra is particularly cool as Nvidia has put all of the (normally explicit) GPU functions "under the hood" of the normal OpenCV api, so you can run your normal OpenCV code and get the acceleration bonus.

I'm not super familiar with the GRIP deploy, but I believe they are packaging some pre compiled OpenCV libraries into their Jar, which means you certainly would not get the benefits of hardware acceleration.
