The present invention belongs to the field of image processing and computer vision, and discloses an acceleration method of depth estimation for multiband stereo cameras. In the process of depth estimation, during binocular stereo matching in each band, through compression of matched images, on one hand, disparity equipotential errors caused by binocular image correction can be offset to make the matching more accurate, and on the other hand, calculation overhead is reduced. In addition, before cost aggregation, cost diagrams are transversely compressed and sparsely matched, thereby reducing the calculation overhead again. Disparity diagrams obtained under different modes are fused to obtain all-weather, more complete and more accurate depth information.
