A CMOS Picture Sensor gives low-light efficiency, LED flicker mitigation, and HDR capabilities for ADAS and autonomous driving purposes.

OMNIVISION, a worldwide semiconductor options developer specializing in superior digital imaging, analogue, and contact & show know-how, has launched its OX08D10 8-megapixel (MP) CMOS picture sensor that includes TheiaCel know-how. The corporate claims the progressive providing elevates automotive security by delivering improved decision and picture high quality for exterior cameras utilized in superior driver help programs (ADAS) and autonomous driving (AD). TheiaCel know-how empowers the sensor to attain good HDR picture seize at distances of as much as 200 meters, a variety suited to putting the perfect stability between signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and dynamic vary, making it an optimum alternative for automotive exterior digicam purposes.

The sensor stands out with its distinctive low-light efficiency and low energy consumption, all inside a compact kind issue 50% smaller than different exterior cabin sensors. It additionally distinguishes itself as the primary picture sensor using next-generation lateral overflow integration capacitors (LOFIC) at the side of excessive dynamic vary (HDR) know-how, successfully eradicating LED flicker throughout numerous lighting situations.

The press launch says the sensor gives strong Mild Flicker Mitigation (LFM) capabilities with out sacrificing picture high quality. The mix captures scenes with exceptionally excessive distinction, delivering superior content material and picture high quality. The CMOS picture sensor outperforms its non-LOGIC-based predecessor in key facets. Notably, it boasts a 3.3x greater LFM dynamic vary and practically 3x greater complete dynamic vary. Moreover, it incorporates enhanced cybersecurity measures to align with the newest MIPI CSE model 2.0 requirements, introducing purposeful security into automotive picture sensor information streams. 

“The brand new OX08D10 picture sensor gives automotive OEMs with one gadget that mixes the entire most essential options, together with low-light efficiency, LED flicker mitigation (LFM), small measurement and low energy, eliminating the necessity for our prospects to make efficiency/design compromises to deal with LED flicker, as they’ve prior to now,” stated Paul Wu, automotive product advertising supervisor, OMNIVISION. “Moreover, we’re excited to debut our new TheiaCel know-how at AutoSens this 12 months. TheiaCel brings a brand new period to single-exposure HDR in an easy-to-implement resolution that yields dramatic enhancements in picture high quality.”
