Implementing one of stereovision algorithms on FPGA

Abstract

Algorithms of dense stereovision can be of great interest for designing computer vision systems of autonomous mobile objects. Modern FPGA are the ideal choice in case of designing high-performance special-purpose calculators with low power consumption. Nevertheless the synthesis of these algorithms in FPGA causes substantial difficulties (lack of crystal resources, delays in signal propagation, etc.). The article gives the review of methods and ideas implemented in case of synthesis of stereovision algorithms on FPGA XILINX XC7VX485T. The evaluation of crystal resources required for synthesis as well as the result of firmware operation in Virtex 7 v707 debugging kit are given.
