Hello there.
This is my first post here. I started to learn to use OpenCV and its CUDA capabilities. I've written a simple code that reads input image, resizes it and detect edges with both cv::Canny and CUDA Canny Edge Detector object and log results to a .txt file. My image is 960x585 and 66.3 KB. I used C++ standard chrono library to measure the time spent at Edge Detection process and results show that the time spent at GPU is far more greater than the time spent at CPU. My code and results are given below. Are my results normal or am I doing something very wrong?

cv::Mat ImageHostArr[SIZE];

ImageDev.upload(ImageHost);
for (int n = 1; n < SIZE; n++)
cv::resize(ImageHost, ImageHostArr[n], cv::Size(), 0.5*n, 0.5*n, CV_INTER_LINEAR);
for (int n = 1; n < SIZE; n++)
cv::cuda::resize(ImageDev, ImageDevArr[n], cv::Size(), 0.5*n, 0.5*n, CV_INTER_LINEAR);

return 0;
