Abstract
A depth image engine and a depth image calculation method are provided. The depth image engine comprises: a buffer, configured to receive a data flow of a first image; an image rotator, configured to perform, after the buffer receives the entire data flow of the first image, a rotation operation on the first image to generate a second image; and a depth value calculator, configured to receive the second image and a reference image to perform a matching calculation on the second image and the reference image to generate a depth image.
Claims15
A depth image engine, comprising:
- a buffer, configured to receive a data flow of a first image;
- an image rotator, configured to perform, after the buffer receives the entire data flow of the first image, a rotation operation on the first image to generate a second image;
- a depth value calculator, configured to receive the second image and a reference image to perform a matching calculation on the second image and the reference image to generate a depth image, and
- a demultiplexer (DEMUX) and a multiplexer (MUX), wherein the DEMUX is disposed in front of the buffer, and the MUX is disposed between the image rotator and the depth value calculator.
A depth image calculation method, comprising:
- receiving a data flow of a first image;
- performing, after receiving the entire data flow of the first image, a rotation operation on the first image to generate a second image, wherein the rotation operation on the first image comprises re-arranging the first image according to a first format, or outputting the first image according to a second format;
- and
- performing a matching calculation on the second image and a reference image to generate a depth image.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, configured with instructions executable by one or more processors to cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
- receiving a data flow of a first image;
- performing, after receiving the entire data flow of the first image, a rotation operation on the first image to generate a second image, wherein the rotation operation on the first image comprises re-arranging the first image according to a first format, or outputting the first image according to a second format;
- and
- performing a matching calculation on the second image and a reference image to generate a depth image.
