Open image signal processor for automotive camera systems
Integrating the ISP on the R-Car V3x SoCs and leveraging MM Solutions’ Automotive Camera Development Kit (AutoCDK), the open ISP solution on R-Car SoCs enables automotive Tier 1s to simplify the sensor calibration and tuning process for camera applications, including front camera and surround view. Part of the Renesas autonomy Platform, the open ISP solution supports a range of development needs, from low-level-programming ISP capabilities via the open interface for users with deep in-house ISP expertise, to the AutoCDK that allows users to jumpstart their development leveraging the MM Solutions tools and image quality expertise. The sensor-neutral solution eliminates the need for sensor-specific ISPs, reducing users’ development time and system costs. The integrated ISP feature includes shading correction as well as local and global tone mapping to deliver high image quality for both human and computer vision applications. In surround view systems, the open ISP solution contributes to color and brightness harmonization between multiple-camera alignment by centralizing control of individual camera parameters. AutoCDK is supported on main operating systems and is open to adding advanced imaging algorithms in addition to embedded functions like Auto Exposure Control and Auto White Balance.
