GPU-enabled OpenCV.js

[Hao1 Jiang]

Hi
I'm interested in enabling WebGPU for OpenCv.js and I got some experience in computer vision and Web development. I am familiar with WebGPU and I used to contribute some kernel in tfjs-backend-webgpu.
My plan is to add a new backend by enabling WebGPU in OpenCV.js. There have been many sophisticated GPU backends including Cuda,OpenCL,Vulkan and Halide, these GPU backends can provide reference for porting some kernels' shader code of OpenCV GPU backend to WebGPU. Using emscripten to bind the Vulkan API in OpenCV to the corresponding WebGPU API and reuse part of the Vulkan shader can be a possible approcah.
My vacation starts in June. So, I can easily dedicate 30-40 hours a week of my time to GSoC. I’ll be glad to contribute to the OpenCV and open source community.

  I look forward to receiving a response from the mentor and I’ll be glad to contribute to the OpenCV and open source community.!
