Interested in indirect vision?
The topic is the complete replacement of common rear-view mirrors by an equivalent and suitable camera monitor system.
Besides the fact that such a system allows for entirely new design concepts, improved sight and the integration of additional ADAS functions, the main challenge here is that the rear-view mirror itself is a safety-relevant component for safeguarding indirect vision for the driver. To replace this part, various criteria in the fields of functional safety, security, road traffic licensing regulations and image quality in general need to be met.

Thinking about security for a new product?
The increasing flexibility of system architecture results in car networks and interfaces having more potential weak points for cyber attacks. They can also entail considerable risks regarding functional safety.
The main challenge is the protection of standard functionality against unauthorized access and manipulation. The integration of security safeguards ensures, among other things, that information is transmitted completely and unchanged and that only certain recipients have access to this information.

Need your system architecture to be more flexible?
In the driver assistance system field in particular, the challenge of the future will be to provide a high flexibility on the level of an adaptive system architecture. FPGA-based solutions with expandable, configurable data path functions will play an important role here. They clearly show their advantages through flexible hardware accelerators and an optimal mix of determinism, security, latency and isolation aspects. The basic option of using the same technology basis from simple to complex topics constitutes an immense advantage of FPGA-based solutions.

Thinking about developing a smart Ethernet camera or a video streaming application?
The greatest challenge lies in uniting high-quality image processing, functional safety, security, video compression and video analytics on the basis of a flexible system architecture to meet the increasing demands of the market.

Thinking about custom-tailored imaging?
For special use cases there are often ready-made standard ISP solutions that are a good fit and cover all in-depth requirements for this particular, narrow field. But if your development requires flexibility to combine cross-cutting aspects like, e.g., high-quality image data processing, functional safety, security and video analytics matters, in an individual and customized manner based on a flexible system architecture, an original, dedicated image signal processor solution is needed. High reliability regarding object detection in particular requires a closer look at the special aspects of an ISP, as it is important to know every processing step in detail and to avoid having a „black box“ with unknown behavior within the processing chain.

Working in research & predevelopment?
These days, the topic of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) figures prominently, as the implementation of image analysis tasks like object detection or image segmentation through neural networks already often considerably surpasses the common classic image processing algorithms regarding accuracy. The disadvantage of CNNs is that they often require an extraordinary amount of processing power. This is one more reason why it should always be weighed if or where exactly within a system to integrate such networks. But even if data is „only“ provided to another device, the necessity of pre-processing or data aggregation needs to be assessed.

Our services portfolio ranges from research and predevelopment topics in the algorithm development field to the development and setup of prototypes and demonstrators and the actual series development of digital ECU cores.
and suppliers, we are involved in numerous technology and customized series projects. These include, for example, the pre- and series development in the indirect vision field, as with the first series-production digital mirror replacement system for trucks alongside MEKRA Lang, the pre- and series development of Ethernet-based camera systems and of FPGA-based or microcontroller-based embedded solutions, as well as the technology development in the field of image processing.
