The code contained in this repository is for the development of a parallelised exhaustive search stereo matching algorithm writtin in Vector Pascal ([the compiler is described here] (http://www.dcs.gla.ac.uk/~wpc/reports/compilers/compilerindex/x25.html)).

The development of the algorithm, and other research which will be conducted, will proceed in a number of steps.

Steps marked with an [ X ] are those that have been shown to work through testing.

The first step (begun in the file mastersfirststep.pas, uploaded on 26/06/13) is as follows:

• Read in two image files (in .bmp format) - the left and right images of the stereo pair [ X - with colour problem];
• Multiply the images together to produce a product image [ X ];
• Apply a correlation function (Sum of Squared Differences (SSD)) to the product image [ ];
• Convolve the image after correlation [ ];
• Output the result [ ].

Testing of the key features of the algorithm will consist of a number of explicitly programmed standalone tests.

All tests are contained within the tests folder.

The format of all test files is: testThingBeingTested.pas.
