Arm Viewpoints: ADAS and the Vision of Automotive Safety

Previously seen as a premium feature in expensive cars, advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) are being rapidly expanded into more affordable automotive tiers to support vehicle driving and parking functions such as surround view systems, adaptive cruise control, collision avoidance and lane departure warnings. ADAS features require safety-capable image processing technology to support both human and machine vision applications and to address this market, the Arm Mali-C78AE image signal processor is able to process data from up to four real-time or 16 virtual cameras to support Arm’s vision to optimize performance, minimize power consumption and provide a clear focus to functional safety for ADAS. In this episode, Geof Wheelwright is joined by Graeme Voller, Senior Product Manager for Arm’s Automotive and IoT team, and Andy Hanvey, Director of Automotive Marketing, OMNIVISION. The group will discuss ADAS, image signal processing, and the importance of functional safety. In addition to this they will dig deeper into the recent announcement of Arm Mali-G78AE GPU and what it offers the market.
