[Insight-developers] Regarding using OpenCL for ITK functions.

[Matthew McCormick (thewtex)]

Hi Chan,

Thanks for your interest in the project.  It would be excellent to
have more GPU implementations.

A simpler filter to implement may be the BinomialBlurImageFilter.  The
filter would go in Modules/Filtering/GPUSmoothing/.  It may be helpful
to look at the MeanImageFilter/GPUMeanImageFilter as a model.

The ITK Bar Camp documents how to contribute a patch.

Please let us know if you have any questions.

Thanks,
Matt
