colored image to greyscale image using CUDA parallel processing

Question

I am trying to solve a problem in which i am supposed to change a colour image to a greyscale image. For this purpose i am using CUDA parallel approach.

The kerne code i

Answer 1

same code with with ability to handle non-standard input size images

int idx=blockDim.x*blockIdx.x+threadIdx.x;
int idy=blockDim.y*blockIdx.y+threadIdx.y;

uchar4 rgbcell=rgbaImage[idx*numCols+idy];

   greyImage[idx*numCols+idy]=0.299*rgbcell.x+0.587*rgbcell.y+0.114*rgbcell.z;


  }

  void your_rgba_to_greyscale(const uchar4 * const h_rgbaImage, uchar4 * const d_rgbaImage,
                        unsigned char* const d_greyImage, size_t numRows, size_t numCols)
 {
 //You must fill in the correct sizes for the blockSize and gridSize
 //currently only one block with one thread is being launched

int totalpixels=numRows*numCols;
int factors[]={2,4,8,16,24,32};
vector numbers(factors,factors+sizeof(factors)/sizeof(int));
int factor=1;

   while(!numbers.empty())
  {
 if(totalpixels%numbers.back()==0)
 {
     factor=numbers.back();
     break;
 }
   else
   {
  numbers.pop_back();
   }
 }



 const dim3 blockSize(factor, factor, 1);  //TODO
 const dim3 gridSize(numRows/factor+1, numCols/factor+1,1);  //TODO
 rgba_to_greyscale<<>>(d_rgbaImage, d_greyImage,    numRows, numCols);
