Architecture and implementation of real-time 3D stereo vision on a Xilinx FPGAArchitecture and implementation of real-time 3D stereo vision on a Xilinx FPGA Πλήρης Δημοσίευση σε Συνέδριο Conference Full Paper 2015-11-122013enMany applications from autonomous vehicles to surveillance can benefit from real-time 3D stereo vision. In the present work we describe a 3D stereo vision design and its implementation that exploits effectively the resources of a Xilinx Virtex-5 FPGA. The post place-and-route design achieved a processing rate of 87 frames per sec (fps) for 1920 × 1200 resolution. The hardware prototype system was tested and validated for several data sets with resolutions up to 400 × 320 and we achieved a processing rate of 1570 fps.http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/IFIP/IEEE International Conference on Very Large Scale Integration Thomas Sotirios Θωμας Σωτηριος Papadimitriou Kyprianos Παπαδημητριου Κυπριανος Dollas Apostolos Δολλας Αποστολος Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers 3-D imaging 3D imaging Three-dimensional imaging systems Three-dimensional imaging techniques Three-dimensional visualization Visualization, Three-dimensional three dimensional imaging 3 d imaging 3d imaging three dimensional imaging systems three dimensional imaging techniques three dimensional visualization visualization three dimensional
