Abstract :
In this paper a modular architecture for real time stereo depth estimation is synthesized. The elaboration is described in terms of the action of a set of sub-processors working in parallel. Such modules have been implemented using proper mechanism to reduce their complexity. Simulations on real and synthetic images are presented and real-time performance evidenced
