Real-Time Stereo Image Matching System

摘要

A real-time stereo image matching system for stereo image matching of a pair of images captured by a pair of cameras (12, 14). The system may be in the form of a computer expansion card (10) for running on a host computer (11). The computer expansion card comprises an external device interface (16) for receiving the image pixel data (13, 15) of the pair of images from the cameras and a hardware device (20) having logic that is arranged to implement a symmetric dynamic programming stereo matching algorithm for generating disparity map data (26) for the host computer (11).
