Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study is to develop a VLSI processor which realizes high density and high precision distance image generation from stereo images in real time. The academic features and originality of this research are 1) fast and highly accurate superpixel division algorithm, 2) high speed algorithm to generate range image with clear boundary using superpixels, 3) real-time processor architecture for the algorithm. As a result of the research, we obtained the prospect of realizing a processor that generates distance images with throughput of HD 60 fps at a frequency of 100 MHz.
