Stradvision teams with TI, AMD for ADAS system
Stradvision in South Korea is using the latest TDA4 silicon from Texas Instruments for a Level 2 domain controller and has signed a deal to run its software on AMD’s FPGAs.
The Stradvision SVNet 3D Perception Network uses the TI TDA4VPE-Q1 system-on-a-chip (SoC) in a deep learning-powered ADAS and autonomous driving system. The system supports diverse imaging solutions, including Level 2 and Level 2+ ADAS, auto valet parking, 3D surround view, and more making it a versatile and cost-effective choice for next-generation automotive applications.
The TDA4VPE integrates advanced sensor fusion, edge AI, graphics, and video co-processing. With 16 TOPS of AI performance, four ARM Cortex-A72 cores, optimized memory architecture, and a heterogeneous design, it delivers unparalleled efficiency while lowering system costs.
Using the chip, the SVNet 3D Perception Network solution converts 2D camera data into precise 3D environmental maps, enabling vehicles to perceive their surroundings with exceptional clarity. It can also support high-level autonomous driving across various Operational Design Domains (ODD), including complex and challenging conditions.
The system is on show at the CES 2025 show in Las Vegas this week with multi-camera inputs for advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), such as Level 2+ highway driving, auto valet parking, 3D surround view, and memory-based automatic parking.
The deal with AMD is the first to port the 3D Perception SVNet onto the Versal AI Edge series devices. At CES 2025 the two are showing a joint technology demonstration with an 8MP front-facing camera using the AI inference engines in the FPGA.
“Our work with AMD represents a pivotal moment for Stradvision,” said Philip Vidal, chief business officer of Stradvision. “Combining cutting-edge real-time processing technology from AMD with our SVnet advanced 3D perception network enables us to redefine industry standards for performance, reliability, and scalability in automated driving systems.”
“Stradvision is helping accelerate autonomous vehicles by increasing the access to ADAS technologies by reducing its cost without compromising its capability,” said Wayne Lyons, Senior Director of Marketing, Automotive Segment at AMD.
“We are proud to collaborate with Texas Instruments to bring cost-effective yet powerful solutions to the automotive industry,” said Vidal. “The TDA4VPE-Q1 automotive SoC, paired with the SVNet, exemplifies our shared vision for advancing ADAS technologies. With production-ready software development concluding in 2025 and a Start of Production (SoP) targeted for 2026, we are poised to meet the demands of an evolving market. This collaboration also underscores our commitment to global expansion, enabling us to address the rising demand for innovative and scalable solutions worldwide,” he said.
“The TDA4VPE-Q1 automotive system-on-a-chip for L2 domain controllers with graphics, AI, and video co-processing embodies our vision of delivering high-performance, flexible, and efficient solutions for next-generation automotive applications,” said Mike Pienovi, product line manager at Texas Instruments. “Our collaboration with Stradvision and their SVNet software demonstrates how technology can accelerate the move from 2D to 3D perception networks.”
Stradvision also recently signed a master license agreement with Renesas Electronics to integrate the SVNet software with the R-Car system-on-chip platform as part of the Renesas RoX SDV development platform.
This will work with the R-Car V4H/V4M and coming R-Car Gen 5 series devices such as the X5.
