چکیده
3D vision processing is a core technology variously applied to intelligent robot vision systems, autonomous vehicle systems, 3D broadcast systems, mobile devices, etc. Most recent researches have been focused on the development of algorithmcentric vision systems based on the CPU or the GPU. There are some researches and developments for the implementation of hardware accelerators of 3D vision processing, but they are only about production of depth maps using FPGA devices which have constraints in cost and performance. On the other hand, there are few researches and developments for ASIC implementation of 3D vision processing. So, we developed a 3D visual information processing ASIC for low-power and small-area implementation.

Fast Census Transform-based Stereo Algorithm using SSE2
In this paper, we propose a census transform-based fast stereo algorithm. Most conventional fast stereo algorithms are based on SAD (Sum of Absolute Difference) or NC (Normalized Correlation). However, SAD is often sensitive to noise or illumination changes. Image matching by census transform is known to be robust to radiometric distortion, since the differences in gain and bias between two ima...
متن کاملA fast stereo matching algorithm suitable for embedded real-time systems
In this paper, the challenge of fast stereo matching for embedded systems is tackled. Limited resources, e.g. memory and processing power, and most importantly real-time capability on embedded systems for robotic applications, do not permit the use of most sophisticated stereo matching approaches. The strengths and weaknesses of different matching approaches have been analyzed and a well-suited...
متن کاملReal-Time Stereo Matching using Adaptive Window based Disparity Refinement
In this paper, we propose a real-time stereo matching method based on adaptive window, aiming at the trade-off between accuracy and efficiency in current local stereo matching, Considering that the Census transform has good adaptability to image amplitude distortion, but may introduce matching ambiguities in regions with noise or similar local structures, we combine the Census transform with AD...
متن کاملIllumination Invariant Data Cost using Modified Census Transform
Stereo matching in non-ideal illumination is a challenging area of research. It assumes identical corresponding color values and this assumption is not guaranteed for real-time environment. As a result most of the stereo algorithms fail to generate good disparity. This paper proposes a Modified Census Correlation (MCC) data cost for stereo matching. The proposed data cost will be derived from m...
متن کاملCensus and Segmentation-Based Disparity Estimation Algorithm Using Region Merging
Disparity estimation is an ill-posed problem in computer vision. It is explored comprehensively due to its usefulness in many areas like 3D scene reconstruction, robot navigation, parts inspection, virtual reality and image-based rendering. In this paper, we propose a hybrid disparity generation algorithm which uses census based and segmentation based approaches. Census transform does not give ...
متن کاملStereomatching Using Radiometric Invariant Measures
Stereo Matching can provide important information about the environment for many autonomous systems. Usually one of the demands for these systems is real-time or almost real-time running. This is why we studied how to adapt two stereo matching measures to this demand, by providing an implementation on a GPU . For stereo matching algorithm a simple local approach based on window aggregation was ...
