Camera ECU

Client required the Surround View Camera ECU together with HMI application to enhance vehicle safety and parking assistance through advanced imaging and detection features:

• 360° Surround/Bird’s-Eye View: A stitched top-down view of the vehicle’s surroundings on the dashboard, eliminating blind spots.
• Automatic Parking and Alerts: Hands-free parking support with trajectory guidance and audible/visual alerts for obstacles.
• Parking Line Recognition: Computer-vision capability to identify parking-space markings (even in empty spots) for autonomous parking maneuvers.
• Static/Moving Object Detection: Identification of nearby vehicles, pedestrians or other obstacles – whether parked or in motion – to trigger timely.
• Cross-Traffic Monitoring: Warning of lateral traffic when reversing, using cameras to detect oncoming vehicles at intersections or parking lots.

The Camera ECU should be compatible with multiple car models with different hardware and/or software.
 

• ulTRON and INTEGRITY Linux Kernel for RCarV2H and RH850
• C, Computer Vision
• FPD-Link3, YUV422, I2C, CAN, SOTA, FOTA

• Enhanced Safety: The 360° view and real-time object alerts significantly reduce blind spots. Drivers gain a panoramic view around the car, which studies show helps avoid curb scrapes and minor collisions by alerting nearby obstacles. Integrated cross-traffic warnings further prevent accidents when backing out of spaces.
• Improved Convenience: Automated parking guidance and lane overlays simplify difficult maneuvers. Parking-line recognition enables hands-free parking even in empty spots, and visual guidance helps drivers fit into tight spaces, minimize the parking errors.
• Seamless Integration: By using common protocols and a modular software stack, the solution plugs into existing vehicle systems. It works on different types of HMI screens and can be easily integrated with other vehicles with different hardware/software.
