Overview

C++ implementation of Semi-Global Matching (SGM) algorithm that is wrapped with cython to provide a libsgm python module based on [Hirschmuller, 2008], [Ernst, Ines & Hirschmüller, 2008] and [Hirschmüller, Buder & Ernst, 2012].

Install

libsgm is available on Pypi and can be installed by:

pip install numpy
pip install libsgm

Usage

libSGM must be used as a package :

from libSGM import sgm_wrapper
...
cost_volumes_out = sgm_wrapper.sgm_api(cost_volume_in, p1, p2, directions, invalid_value, False, False)

Let's see pandora_plugin_LibSGM for real life exemple.
