1. A method of generating disparity results with low latency in a data processing system that processes elements of a first data set and a second data set, each having a plurality of elements, comprising:

  • receiving elements of the first and second data sets, including a first element of the first data set; and

    generating a disparity result for the first element before substantially all elements of the first and second data sets have been received; and

    receiving successive rows of elements of the first and second data sets, the rows representing successive scanlines of image data;

    wherein the generation of a disparity result for the first element occurs before X rows of elements of the first and second data sets have been received, where X is equal to the number of scanlines necessary to represent a frame of image data.
