Smartcam for real-time stereo vision - address-event based embedded system

We present a novel real-time stereo smart camera for sparse disparity (depth) map estimation of moving objects at up to 200 frames/sec. It is based on a 128x128 pixel asynchronous optical transient sensor, using address-event representation (AER) protocol. An address-event based algorithm for stereo depth calculation including calibration, correspondence and reconstruction processing steps is also presented. Due to the onchip data pre-processing the algorithm can be implemented on a single low-power digital signal processor.
