How to make below lines of file processing be done faster using Python multithreading or using GPU also:

import os
import cv2

from google.colab import drive

drive.mount('/content/gdrive')

def main():

    depth_dir = 'gdrive/MyDrive/depth/'
    depth_prefix = 'Depth_'

    for f in os.listdir(in_dir):
            filename = f.split(".")[0]
            print("=== Start processing:", filename, "===")
            depth_src = cv2.imread(os.path.join(depth_dir, depth_prefix + filename + ".jpg"), cv2.IMREAD_GRAYSCALE)

            depth_min = depth_src.min()
            depth_max = depth_src.max()
            depth = (depth_src - depth_min) / (depth_max - depth_min)
            depth = np.round(depth*255).astype(int)

            cv2.imwrite(os.path.join(depth_dir, "depth_" + filename + ".jpg"), right_fix)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

Hi, arundhati87

Multithreading doesn’t really help speed up jobs that consume CPU time.
Multiprocessing will do, for example, if you have quad-core CPU,

from concurrent.futures import ProcessPoolExecutor
def main():
    with ProcessPoolExecutor(max_workers=4) as pool:
        retvals = pool.map(your_job, iterables)
    print(list(retvals))

where iterables is your filename list to input.
Please also try to check how the multithreading works substituting the header by

from concurrent.futures import ThreadPoolExecutor

(Sorry for that I cannot answer about GPU)
