Abstract
A GPU receives an image comprising an array of pixels. The image depicts features in a field of an object on a background. The features and the background contrasting with the object field, and at least a portion of the object is at the center of the image. In parallel for each particular pixel of a first plurality of the pixels, the GPU sets the color value of the particular pixel to the lightest color value of a second plurality of the pixels substantially along a line outward from the particular pixel toward an edge of the image. The line can be defined by the particular pixel and the image center.
