## Detailed Description

G-API backends available in this OpenCV version.

G-API backends play a corner stone role in G-API execution stack. Every backend is hardware-oriented and thus can run its kernels efficiently on the target platform.

Backends are usually "black boxes" for G-API users – on the API side, all backends are represented as different objects of the same class cv::gapi::GBackend. User can manipulate with backends by specifying which kernels to use.

## Function Documentation

## ◆ backend() [1/3]

cv::gapi::GBackend cv::gapi::fluid::backend | ( |  | ) |

`#include <opencv2/gapi/fluid/gfluidkernel.hpp>`

Get a reference to Fluid backend.

## ◆ backend() [2/3]

cv::gapi::GBackend cv::gapi::ocl::backend | ( |  | ) |

`#include <opencv2/gapi/ocl/goclkernel.hpp>`

Get a reference to OCL backend.

At the moment, the OCL backend is built atop of OpenCV "Transparent API" (T-API), see cv::UMat for details.

## ◆ backend() [3/3]

cv::gapi::GBackend cv::gapi::cpu::backend | ( |  | ) |

`#include <opencv2/gapi/cpu/gcpukernel.hpp>`

Get a reference to CPU (OpenCV) backend.

This is the default backend in G-API at the moment, providing broader functional coverage but losing some graph model advantages. Provided mostly for reference and prototyping purposes.
