Abstract

Methods and apparatuses are described for processing 3D vision algorithms. A 3D vision processor device comprises one or more 3D vision processing cores. Each 3D vision processing core includes one or more memory blocks for storing location values associated with 3D point cloud images and an arithmetic logic unit coupled to the one or more memory modules. The arithmetic logic unit includes a plurality of memory registers for temporarily storing location values associated with a point in a 3D point cloud image and a processing unit coupled to the plurality of memory registers for performing arithmetic operations on the location values stored in the memory registers, the arithmetic operations used for 3D vision processing algorithms. The 3D vision processing core also includes a communication link for transferring data between the arithmetic logic unit and the memory modules.
