An image processor, also known as an image processing engine, image processing unit (IPU), or image signal processor (ISP), is a sort of media processor or specialised digital signal processor (DSP) used in digital cameras or other devices for image processing.
The image sensor turns the light that enters the optical lens into an electric signal. This data is then transmitted to an ISP, where it is rebuilt as a picture or preview on a display.
An application-specific integrated circuit (ASI) is a custom-designed integrated circuit (IC) for a specific purpose or application.
Unlike FPGA boards, which may be configured after production to satisfy a range of use case requirements, ASIC designs are tuned early in the design process to address specific demands.
The Global Automotive ASIC Image Signal Processor Market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
OmniVision announces the availability of the OAX8000 AI-enabled ASIC. The OAX8000 AI-enabled automotive-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) was announced by OmniVision.
The new ASIC is designed for low-cost standalone driver monitoring systems (DMS).The OAX8000 AI-enabled automotive-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) was announced by OmniVision.
The new ASIC is designed for low-cost standalone driver monitoring systems (DMS).It employs a stacked-die architecture to supply the DMS processor with on-chip DDR3 SDRAM memory (1GB).
In addition, the DMS incorporates a neural processing unit (NPU) and an image signal processor (ISP). This enables processing speeds of up to 1.1 trillion operations per second for eye gazing and eye tracking algorithms.In normal conditions, the entire OAX8000 and automotive image sensors consume only 1 watt.
According to a company press release, the OAX8000’s on-chip NPU is supported by the prominent TensorFlow, Caffe, MXNet, and ONNX tool chains.
This ASIC also includes quad Arm Cortex A5 CPU cores with Neon technology for accelerated video encoding/decoding and on-chip video analytics algorithms, as well as hardware for image processing, video encoding, and RGB/IR processing.
The ASIC’s HDR processing capability enables it to receive input from RGB/IR picture sensors.The mentioned video encoders can accept up to 5 megapixel captures and output up to 2K definition video at 30 frames per second.
