The new 5-megapixel image sensor expands the automotive technology portfolio

     OmniVision Technologies  announced the new OX05D10 5MP CMOS image sensor using TheiaCel technology, which provides industry-leading LED flicker mitigation (LFM) without compromising image quality. Image sensors are ideal for all automotive use cases where HDR, low light performance and LFM are critical.

     "The new OX05D10 is the latest addition to our family of automotive sensors with TheiaCel technology, joining the OX08D10 8MP sensor we announced at AutoSens in Brussels last September," said Dr. Paul Wu, Head of Automotive product Marketing at OMNIVISION. "Their acel enables the OX05D10 to achieve high LFM without sacrificing image quality, and the OX05D10 also retains all the most important features required by automotive Oems, including low-light performance, small size, and low power consumption." We have expanded our product line to offer our customers a choice of 8 megapixels and 5 megapixels, depending on their needs."

     The growing popularity of ADAS and AD requires improvements in LFM, HDR, and high-resolution image sensors. For example, the pulsed lighting of LED traffic lights poses a serious challenge to many imaging solutions, preventing ADAS and AD systems from correctly detecting traffic lights. The company has solved this problem with its 2.1 μm single-pixel TheiaCel technology.

     TheiaCel leverages next-generation LOFIC capabilities and the proven strength of the company's other proprietary HDR technologies, such as the patented DCG technology, to capture extremely high-contrast scenes for optimal content and image quality. The company's TheiaCel DCG + LOFIC solution produces a wide dynamic range in single-exposure HDR images.
