This Pandora plugin aims to optimize the cost volume following Semi-Global Matching algorithm, defined by [Hirschmuller], with the libSGM library.

Go to Pandora stereo matching framework for further documentation.

pandora_plugin_libsgm is available on Pypi and can be installed by:

pip install pandora_plugin_libsgm

This command will install required dependencies such as Pandora and libSGM.

Let's refer to Pandora's readme or online documentation for further information about Pandora general functionalities.

More specifically, you can find :

• SGM configuration file example
• documentation about SGM theory and parameters
