Automotive smart camera development with open platform turnkey solutions
Renesas Electronics Corporation and LUPA-Electronics GmbH have announced the EagleCAM module, an open front camera solution, highlighting Renesas’ R-Car V3H and R-Car V3M SoC devices. The all-in-one, scalable camera platform is aimed at the latest Euro NCAP and C-NCAP demands, such as automatic emergency braking, forward collision warning, lane-keeping assist, and traffic sign recognition. The jointly-developed solutions allow OEMs and Tier 1s to differentiate and increase their offering by combining their proprietary or third-party software that adds further driving features.
Most smart camera turnkey solutions take a black box solution approach, making it challenging for OEMs and Tier 1s to meet evolving market demands and slowing down development. With the module, the companies offer an open turnkey solution that provides flexible, high-performance perception while reducing time to market and reducing the BOM costs.
