OmniVision's new 12-megapixel sensor powers ADAS and machine vision

In the wave of automotive intelligence, advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and machine vision technology are playing an increasingly important role. As the "eyes" of these technologies, the performance of image sensors is critical. OmniVision, the world's leading provider of semiconductor solutions, has introduced a new 12-megapixel image sensor, the OX03D, that brings superior image quality and performance to ADAS and machine vision applications.

OX03D: Designed for automotive vision

The OX03D is a 1/2.44-inch optical format CMOS image sensor that uses Howe's unique PureCel®Plus-S stacked pixel technology with an effective pixel capacity of 12 million and an output resolution of 4096 x 3072. The AEC-Q100 Level 2 certified sensor is designed for automotive applications and is capable of operating stably in extreme temperatures from -40°C to 105°C, meeting the demanding reliability requirements of automotive electronics.

Excellent image quality for accurate perception

The core strength of OX03D is its superior image quality, thanks to a number of advanced technologies:

● Excellent image quality: The OX03D has a high resolution of 12 megapixels to capture more detailed information and provide a more accurate perception of the environment for the ADAS system. At the same time, the use of PureCel®Plus-S pixel technology effectively improves the sensitivity and dynamic range of the DCMX984U16DG2B sensor, even in complex lighting conditions such as backlight, low light, and so on, can also present clear and accurate images.

● Low-power design: OX03D uses advanced low-power design to effectively reduce system power consumption and extend device battery life, which is particularly important for electric and autonomous vehicles.

● High Dynamic range (HDR) : The OX03D supports a dynamic range of up to 120dB, capturing light and dark details to avoid overexposure or underexposure, providing more comprehensive environmental information for ADAS systems.

● Excellent night vision performance: OX03D uses Howe's unique Nyxel® near infrared technology to significantly improve the sensitivity of the sensor in the near infrared band, enabling it to display clear images at night or in low light environments, effectively improving the safety of the ADAS system at night.

● High frame rate: OX03D supports frame rates of up to 60fps and can smoothly capture fast-moving objects to provide more timely environmental awareness information for ADAS systems.

● Small size package: The OX03D comes in a miniaturized package that can be easily integrated into a variety of ADAS and machine vision systems, meeting the stringent space and weight requirements of automotive manufacturers.

Enable ADAS and machine vision applications

With its superior performance, OX03D provides strong support for a variety of ADAS and machine vision applications, including:

● Front view camera: the high resolution and excellent image quality of OX03D can provide clearer and more accurate road information for the front view camera, helping to realize lane departure warning, traffic sign recognition, pedestrian detection and other functions.

● Round-view camera: OX03D's high dynamic range and low light performance can provide more comprehensive environmental awareness for the round-view camera, helping drivers better understand the situation around the vehicle and improve parking safety.

● Driver monitoring system (DMS) : OX03D's high frame rate and excellent image quality can capture the driver's facial expressions and actions in real time, accurately identify dangerous states such as driver fatigue and distraction, and issue timely warnings to ensure driving safety.

● Machine vision: the high resolution and high frame rate of OX03D can provide more accurate image information for machine vision system, help achieve target detection, recognition, tracking and other functions, and is widely used in industrial automation, robotics, intelligent transportation and other fields.

Promote the intelligent development of automobiles

With the continuous improvement of the level of automotive intelligence, the application of ADAS and machine vision technology will be more and more extensive. The OX03D image sensor, with its excellent image quality and performance, will provide more powerful perception for ADAS and machine vision applications, helping car manufacturers to create safer and smarter automotive products, and promote the development of automotive intelligence to a new height.

Future outlook

In the future, Haowei Technology will continue to be committed to the research and development and innovation of image sensor technology, launch more high-performance, low-power image sensor products, to meet the growing market demand in ADAS, machine vision and other fields, and contribute to the development of automotive intelligence.
