Hardware Components for Real-Time Stereo Matching: Acceleration of 3D HD TV with FPGAs

In recent 3D TV market, the technologies addressing to the applications such as stereoscopic depth scaling, glass-free 3D display, and Free Viewpoint TV are getting more attentions. A low-cost solution that can synthesize intermediate views from stereoscopic input contents(left and right camera views) is strongly needed. To render the...

High-Quality, Real-Time HD Video Stereo Matching on FPGA

Stereo matching is an important computer vision technique, which extracts the depth information of the scene by matching a pair of stereo images. It has numerous applications, such as view-point interpolation, 3DTV, object detection, etc. In the past decades, many algorithms have been proposed to improve the matching quality or to increase the...

Design and Implementation of Real-Time High-Defnition Stereo Matching SoC on FPGA

Stereo matching has been widely used in many fields, such as viewpoint interpolation, feature detection system and free-view TV. However, the long processing time of stereo matching algorithms has been the major bottleneck that limits their real-time applications. During the past decades, many implementation platforms and corresponding algorithm...
