  • Apparatus for interactive image correlation for three dimensional image production
    Patent number: 6041140
    Abstract: A hardware accelerator board utilizes field programmable gate arrays which can be reprogrammed on the fly during program execution to achieve dedicated hardware processing speeds and greater flexibility than provided by compiled or interpreted software. The accelerator board is used to permit the user to interact with the computer system in which the board is installed to interactively produce a correlation of two images of the same scene.
