Hyperlux Image Sensors Deliver Unmatched 150 dB Dynamic Range and HDR LFM Performance
Road safety has always been a top priority for authorities, car makers, and consumers. Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) are essential to reduce fatalities and serious injuries. The European Transport Safety Council (ETSC) has recently made ADAS systems mandatory to protect drivers and vulnerable road users. Many safety features, such as automatic emergency braking (AEB) or lane keep assist, are enabled by image sensors. The captured images allow for detecting various objects around or in front of the vehicle to warn the driver and prevent collisions.
However, the light−emitting diodes (LEDs) widely used to provide exterior illumination in modern automobiles and traffic lights and signs cause one big challenge for some image sensors—the light they emit uses pulse−width modulation (PWM). It is a digital technique commonly used to reduce power consumption in headlights, taillights, traffic signs, and vehicle messaging systems. Their on−off pulse frequency is imperceptible to the human eye, but it causes problems capturing images of vehicles or other illuminated objects on the road.
