This work presents the design, optimization and analysis of high efficiency implementations in the hardware and software domain of the semi-global matching algorithm. The target is a heterogeneous set of architectures comprising a wide spectrum of current architectural concepts for image processing: two ASPs (one RISC processor and one VLIW processor), a GPU, a multi-core GPP, and a dedicated architecture mapped onto FPGA and standard cell ASIC. A design space exploration (DSE) framework is introduced to assess architectures quantitatively in terms of silicon area, energy consumption, and throughput performance. It contains a specifically designed FPGA-based SoC framework for image processing tasks enabling emulation-based analysis and rapid prototyping. Using the DSE framework, detailed analyses of all respective implementation options for each architecture (intra-architecture analysis) and across architectures (interarchitecture analysis) are performed. The SoC framework and FPGA results are further applied to compose a fully functional real-time stereo vision system.
