At Convergence 2010, Xilinx’ Paul Zoratti explains how new vehicle applications for cameras are possible using field programmable gate array (FPGA) technology. With Xilinx SP605 evaluation board, four cameras can be used for a surround view system or decoupled into multiple systems including rear view parking and blind spot detection.
The cameras are OmniVision OV9715 automotive-grade megapixel sensors. The OV9715 uses a 3-micron pixel to achieve low light sensitivity of 3300 mV/lux-sec that make it attractive for use in automotive vision and sensing systems. Market research firm Techno Systems Research Co., Ltd., projects that megapixel sensors for the automotive market will increase from 1.3% market share in 2010 to nearly 35% market share by 2014.
