Abstract

This paper presents a FPGA-based multiprocessor system for the essential matrix estimation from a set of point correspondences containing outliers. The estimation is performed using two methods: the 8-point and the 5-point algorithm, and complemented with robust estimation. The description of the architecture and the hardware-specific design considerations are given. Performance and resource use depending on the chosen method and the number of processing cores are also given.
