3D Vision: Developing an Embedded Stereo-Vision System

Abstract

The DeepSea G2 stereo vision system that Tyzx developed features an embedded stereo camera consisting of two CMOS imagers, a Tyzx DeepSea 2 stereo application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), a field-programmable gate array (FPGA), a DSP/coprocessor, a PowerPC running Linux, and an Ethernet connection. About the size of a hardback book, the G2 delivers real-time - 30 frames per second (fps) - interpretations of visual data even in challenging environments and has been deployed in a variety of applications, including person-tracking and autonomous-vehicle navigation.
