Abstract

A parallel version of the phase-based algorithm for disparity estimation in stereo image pairs for the reconstruction of the third dimension is presented. The algorithm is implemented on the Quadrics massively parallel SIMD machine. An analysis of performance as a function of image size and processors number is given. The obtained processing times are compared with two other HW architectures both sequential and parallel.
