An Integrated Digital Architecture for the Real-time Reconstruction in a VSiP Sensor

Recent advances in vision system integration allows to design new integrated sensors which are able to achieve complexes tasks. The ´Cyclope´ project aims to develop a novel integrated sensor for real-time 3D reconstruction. It includes an active vision sensor, a digital centralized processing architecture and a communication block. This sensor is designed to obtain a monolithic integrate vision system. This paper presents the digital processing architecture which is a massively-parallel architecture in a totally scalable IP to assure the compatibility with application constraints. This architecture has been implemented on an FPGA circuit and we demonstrate, with accurate results, the realtime operations.
