Approaches presented herein provide for generation of alternate views from disparity data captured for one or more objects in a scene. The generation can be performed using an embedded processor with DMA memory access, or other limited capacity hardware. An intermediate representation can be generated that is a 2D histogram view of the disparity data. This intermediate representation can be transformed, using the embedded processor, to an alternate view image, such as a bird's eye view image. Morphological or similar filtering can be performed on the one or more objects in the intermediate representation using the same size filter, regardless of distance from a camera plane used to capture the disparity data.
A system, comprising:
At least one embedded processor, with direct memory access (DMA) functionality, to generate a bird's eye view image for a scene by generating, from disparity data for the scene, an intermediate histogram as a function of angle and distance to a camera plane, and transforming the intermediate histogram to the bird's eye view image.
A computer-implemented method, comprising:
