Hardware Implementation of an SAD Based Stereo Vision Algorithm

Abstract

This paper presents the hardware implementation of a stereo vision core algorithm, that runs in real-time and is targeted at automotive applications. The algorithm is based on the sum of absolute differences (SAD) and computes the disparity map using 320 times 240 input images with a maximum disparity of 100 pixels. The hardware operates at a frequency of 65 MHz and achieves a frame rate of 425 fps by calculating the data highly parallel and pipelined. Thus an implemented and basically optimized software solution, running on an Intel Pentium 4 with 3 GHz clock frequency is 166 times outperformed.
