OmniVision
have combined their OX03A1Y image sensor with Arm’s Mali-C71 image signal
processor (ISP) for what they’re calling a ‘dual-mode automotive camera
module’.
OmniVision say their sensor features the automotive industry’s best image quality across all lighting conditions for rear and surround view cameras, as well as a broad range of machine vision applications for ADAS—blind-spot detection, e-mirrors, lane-departure warnings, and the like—and for autonomous driving platforms.
Arm’s Automotive and IoT Product Management Director Tom Conway says the Omnivision sensor “showcases the Mali-C71’s ability to process multiple real-time inputs with one pipeline, capturing both human display and computer vision images with a single image sensor, at the highest possible quality”.
And
Omnivision automotive product marketing manager Celine Baron says the Arm
processor “is an important part of the automotive ecosystem, and they are
a key partner for OmniVision…this collaboration demonstrates the high
performance that can be achieved by combining our premium 2.5MP image sensor
with Arm’s ISP, for automotive applications that need both computer vision and
human displays from a single camera module”.
