Solutions ADAS/AD Systems
The growing need to build cost-effective and efficient Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) or Autonomous Driving (ADS) requires the introduction of a new type of compression IP core to simplify the image processing process from the sensor to the processing unit.IVISIONIC offers solutions that reduce transmission bandwidth and increase storage capacity.
Using the latest image sensor performance, extremely low runtime complexity, low latency and lossless image quality, IVISIONIC's IVICIP cores are ideally suited to meet these challenges. These IP cores are capable of addressing a wide range of vision-based algorithm requirements.
Utilizes Ethernet cable, Ethernet PHY, MIPI, GMSL and other transmission technologies.
IVISIONIC sensors and cameras with compression codecs are the most reliable on the market.
For autonomous driving, multiple sensors are combined and their data is transmitted to a so-called electronic central control unit (ECU), where the sensor data is jointly analyzed and relevant actions are calculated. The sensor data needs to be processed with the highest responsiveness and therefore requires very low latency in the overall data stream.
In terms of implementation, power consumption needs to be as limited as possible given the number of sensors. The wiring inside the vehicle is also critical. High-resolution cameras and limited interface bandwidth require intelligent compression, reduced bandwidth during low-latency transmission, or aggregation of multiple sensor streams onto a single port/cable. Our solutions are suitable for various protocols, such as MIPI or automotive Ethernet, and can run on FPGAs, ASICs, CPUs or GPUs.
An in-car transmission or infotainment system is a collection of hardware and software that provides audio or video entertainment in a car, such as car navigation systems, video players, USB and Bluetooth connections, in-car computers, in-car Internet and WiFi, etc. IVISIONIC is able to transmit video with lossless quality and microsecond latency through new technology.
Cars always need more cameras, which generate a lot of data and therefore more bandwidth. Our goal with the new RAW CFA compression is to avoid redundant large cables, which would result in extra costs extra space requirements and extra power consumption. In addition, we cannot ignore latency in such extremely sensitive applications; the smallest latency can have catastrophic consequences.
Our IVIC solution optimizes RAW Bayer (and other CFA data) at the speed of light during capture, transfer, storage, and machine learning. At low power in-camera, it is capable of capturing, storing and streaming RAW (CFA, Bayer), including HDR at 10x the size and bandwidth. our family of FPGA &ASIC cores (encoders/decoders) support high resolution (from 2MP to 640MP or higher) at 30, 60, 120 fps (or higher), processing RGGB, RYYCy, RCCC and other 8 to 16 bit CFA modes.
Lossless (mathematically) compression capability is also an inherent feature. Our encoding/decoding software libraries target x86-64 CPUs , ARM64 CPUs & Nvidia GPUs with incredible performance! This software capability is also a key advantage for vehicle data acquisition for development purposes.
IVISIONIC has a large range of JPEG XS implementations from IP cores in FPGAs and ASICs to software libraries. This new lightweight low-latency ISO standard is designed to replace uncompressed video, maintaining microsecond latency, lossless quality and minimal encoding/decoding complexity, fully meeting the needs of the automotive industry.
