Adaptive support-weight based algorithm can produce better disparity map compared to generic area-based algorithms and also can be implemented as a realtime system. In this paper, we propose a realtime system based on geodesic support-weight which performs better segmentation of objects in the window. The data scheduling is analyzed for efficient hardware design and better performance and the parallel architecture for weight update which takes the longest delay is proposed. The exponential function is efficiently designed using a simple step function by careful error analysis. The proposed architecture is designed with verilogHDL and synthesized using Donbu Hitek 0.18um standard cell library. The proposed system shows 2.22% of error rate and can run up to 260Mhz (25fps) operation frequency with 182K gates.
