(BUSINESS WIRE)
-- Ambarella, Inc. (Nasdaq: AMBA), an AI vision silicon company, today
announced the CV22FS and CV2FS automotive camera system on chips (SoCs)
with CVflow® AI processing and ASIL B compliance to enable
safety-critical applications. Both chips target forward-facing monocular
and stereovision ADAS cameras, as well as computer vision ECUs for L2+
and higher levels of autonomy. Featuring extremely low power
consumption, the CV22FS and CV2FS make it possible for tier-1s and OEMs
to surpass New Car Assessment Program (NCAP) performance requirements
within the power consumption constraints of single-box,
windshield-mounted forward ADAS cameras. Other potential applications
for the processors include electronic mirrors with blind spot detection
(BSD), interior driver and cabin monitoring cameras, and around view
monitors (AVM) with parking assist.
The two new
SoCs are the latest additions to Ambarella’s successful CVflow SoC
family that offers automotive OEMs, tier-1s, and software development
partners an open platform for differentiated, high-performance
automotive systems.
ZF, a global
technology tier-1 and supplier of systems for passenger cars and
commercial vehicles, is working with Ambarella on viewing and sensing
systems:
“ZF is
pleased to be working with Ambarella on the next generation of
intelligent viewing platforms for Surround View Visualization, Driver
Monitoring stand-alone vision processing, and e-mirror solutions for
both the passcar and commercial vehicle markets,” said Aaron Jefferson,
vice president of ADAS product planning at ZF. “The CVflow SoCs’
combination of high quality imaging and advanced AI processing enables
ZF to offer a wide range of viewing and interior sensing applications.”
HELLA Aglaia,
a leading global developer of intelligent visual perception software,
has worked with Ambarella’s CVflow processors over the past year:
“We chose
Ambarella’s CVflow SoCs due to their ability to deliver extremely high
computer vision processing performance with very low power consumption,”
said Kay Talmi, managing director at HELLA Aglaia. “With the
introduction of the CV22FS and CV2FS ASIL SoCs, Ambarella now delivers
the functional safety features required by automotive OEMs for the mass
production of safety-critical systems.”
“Ambarella’s
CVFlow architecture delivers an unparalleled combination of AI
performance and power efficiency,” said Fermi Wang, president and CEO of
Ambarella. “We are pleased to introduce these ASIL-compliant CVflow
SoCs, delivering on our promises to our partners and customers and
further demonstrating our commitment to the automotive market.”
The CV22FS
and CV2FS’s CVflow architecture provides computer vision processing in
8-megapixel or higher resolution at 30 frames per second for object
recognition over long distances and with high accuracy. The SoCs each
include a dense optical flow accelerator for simultaneous localization
and mapping (SLAM), as well as distance and depth estimation.
Multi-channel high-speed sensor input and Ambarella’s industry-leading
image signal processing (ISP) pipeline provide the necessary camera
input support, even in challenging lighting conditions. CV2FS also
enables advanced stereovision applications by adding a dense disparity
engine.
Ambarella
will demonstrate its CVflow SoC family during CES 2020 to select
customers and partners. Demonstrations will include HELLA Aglaia’s deep
learning ADAS algorithms and Ambarella’s EVA (Embedded Vehicle Autonomy)
self-driving prototype vehicle. Ambarella will also demonstrate a range
of applications from other key partners running on the CVflow engine.
CV22FS and CV2FS are scheduled to sample to Ambarella customers in the first half of 2020.
