摘要：深度估计是基于视频加深度图像的三维视频系统中前端预处理的核心技术,其主要技术难题包括准确性、实时处理和大分辨率深度图获取等。本文提出一种实时深度估计的硬件实现方案,主要解决处理速度问题,并兼顾了准确性和大分辨率问题。本方案采用单片FPGA实现深度估计,其中采用census变换与SAD(Sum of Absolute Differences)混合的算法进行逐点匹配得到稠密深度图。硬件设计充分利用FPGA的大规模并行能力,并采用流水线设计提高数据通路的数据吞吐量,提升整个设计的时钟频率。实验表明,所提出的方案可实现全高清(1 920×1 080)分辨率视频实时深度估计。为了支持大分辨率图像并能观测距离相机较近的物体深度,本文方案视差搜索范围可以达到240pixels,帧率最高可达69.6fps,达到了实时和高清的处理目的。

摘要：俗话说：题好一半文。读者打开报纸，要看什么，先看什么，取决于标题。有人称：标题是报纸的“广告”、“窗口”、“索引”。读者从标题中大体可以判断出新闻的价值及可读性。如何把标题制作得诱人传神，是编辑记者苦苦追求的目标，是关系到新闻能否影响读者或能否被读者愉快地接受的成败之笔。

摘要：在基于深度的三维视频系统中,合成视的质量与深度图的质量息息相关。为加快深度数据的压缩速度并保证重建虚拟视点图像的质量,提出了一种面向虚拟视点绘制的快速深度编码算法。根据深度数据的特点及深度失真对绘制视质量的影响,将深度图像划分为边缘区域与平坦区域,并相应地为深度编码中的宏块模式选择设计了两种搜索策略。对边缘区域及纹理复杂区域采用全搜索策略,对平坦区域及低纹理区域采用SKIP模式、帧间16×16模式和帧内模式搜索。实验结果表明,与X264编码方案相比,本文方法在保证虚拟绘制图像质量与编码码率不变的前提下,显著提高了编码速率,可应用于基于深度的实时三维视频系统中。

摘要：Depth estimation is an active research area with the developing of stereo vision in recent years. It is one of the key technologies to resolve the large data of stereo vision communication. Now depth estimation still has some problems, such as occlusion, fuzzy edge, real-time processing, etc. Many algorithms have been proposed base on software, however the performance of the computer configurations limits the software processing speed. The other resolution is hardware design and the great developments of the digital signal processor （DSP）, and application specific integrated circuit （ASIC） and field programmable gate array （FPGA） provide the opportunity of flexible applications. In this work, by analyzing the procedures of depth estimation, the proper algorithms which can be used in hardware design to execute real-time depth estimation are proposed. The different methods of calibration, matching and post-processing are analyzed based on the hardware design requirements. At last some tests for the algorithm have been analyzed. The results show that the algorithms proposed for hardware design can provide credited depth map for further view synthesis and are suitable for hardware design.
