Abstract :
A depth map generation algorithm suitable for real-time hardware implementation is proposed. Currently, there are algorithms capable of providing high quality depth maps, but due to their complexity, they cannot be used in real-time applications. The aim of the proposed algorithm is to provide depth maps at a suitable quality for dedicated embedded applications, in the same time meeting the key requirement of matching the frame rate of the image acquisition devices.
