{"abstract":[{"text":"Stereo-matching algorithms recently received a lot of attention from the FPGA acceleration community. Presented solutions range from simple, very resource efficient systems with modest matching quality for small embedded systems to sophisticated algorithms with several processing steps, implemented on big FPGAs. In order to achieve high throughput, most implementations strongly focus on pipelining and data reuse between different computation steps. This approach leads to high efficiency, but limits the supported computation patterns and due the high integration of the implementation, adaptions to the algorithm are difficult. In this work, we present a stereo-matching implementation, that starts by offloading individual kernels from the CPU to the FPGA. Between subsequent compute steps on the FPGA, data is stored off-chip in on-board memory of the FPGA accelerator card. This enables us to accelerate the AD-census algorithm with cross-based aggregation and scanline optimization for the first time without algorithmic changes and for up to full HD image dimensions. Analyzing throughput and bandwidth requirements, we outline some trade-offs that are involved with this approach, compared to tighter integration of more kernel loops into one design.","lang":"eng"}],"quality_controlled":"1","has_accepted_license":"1","project":[{"_id":"1","grant_number":"160364472","name":"SFB 901"},{"_id":"14","grant_number":"160364472","name":"SFB 901 - Subprojekt C2"},{"name":"SFB 901 - Project Area C","_id":"4"},{"name":"Self-Adaptive Virtualisation-Aware High-Performance/Low-Energy Heterogeneous System Architectures","grant_number":"610996","_id":"34"}],"date_created":"2017-10-17T12:42:11Z","file_date_updated":"2018-03-16T11:37:42Z","ddc":["040"],"page":"1-8","file":[{"success":1,"file_id":"1366","file_name":"406-ReConFig14.pdf","access_level":"closed","content_type":"application/pdf","relation":"main_file","date_created":"2018-03-16T11:37:42Z","date_updated":"2018-03-16T11:37:42Z","file_size":932852,"creator":"florida"}],"doi":"10.1109/ReConFig.2014.7032535","publisher":"IEEE","author":[{"id":"3145","last_name":"Kenter","full_name":"Kenter, Tobias","first_name":"Tobias"},{"full_name":"Schmitz, Henning","last_name":"Schmitz","first_name":"Henning"},{"orcid":"0000-0001-5728-9982","first_name":"Christian","id":"16153","last_name":"Plessl","full_name":"Plessl, Christian"}],"year":"2014","status":"public","citation":{"chicago":"Kenter, Tobias, Henning Schmitz, and Christian Plessl. “Kernel-Centric Acceleration of High Accuracy Stereo-Matching.” In <i>Proceedings of the International Conference on ReConFigurable Computing and FPGAs (ReConFig)</i>, 1–8.
