Parallel Processor for 3D Recovery from Optical Flow

摘要

3D recovery from motion has received a major effort in computer vision systems in the recent years. The main problem lies in the number of operations and memory accesses to be performed by the majority of the existing techniques when translated to hardware or software implementations. This paper proposes a parallel processor for 3D recovery fromoptical flow. Its main feature is the maximum reuse of data and the low number of clock cycles to calculate the opticalflow, along with the precision with which 3D recovery is achieved. The results of the proposed architecture as wellas those from processor synthesis are presented.
