Image cognition processors (ICPs) for driver assistance applications feature CogniVue technology

At the Freescale Technology Forum Japan, Freescale Semiconductor introduced a family of image cognition processors (ICPs) for the driver assistance market.

The SCP2200 family features CogniVue’s APEX™ IP technology and is ideal for automotive smart camera applications. The family, along with accompanying libraries, hardware and software development kits, is said to give automakers a comprehensive set of tools to design smart camera applications, helping them to bring their solutions to market more quickly.

Freescale said many of today’s car buyers are demanding more infotainment and safety features, including front, rear-facing and surround-view cameras. In the U.S., the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has proposed a mandate that would require all U.S. passenger vehicles to implement rear-facing camera technology in the near future. The regulation is intended to address the dangerous blind zones behind vehicles that NHTSA estimates cause 292 deaths and 18,000 injuries each year. European New Car Assessment Program (Euro NCAP) standards are also increasingly focusing on active pedestrian safety.

Automakers face a number of challenges as they work to improve vehicle safety through applications such as vehicle-mounted cameras for improved pedestrian detection. With regulators predicting vehicle cameras and viewing screens will cost the auto industry as much as $2.7 billion a year or around $160 to $200 per vehicle, cost is a major concern. Freescale said its SCP2200 solution minimizes the bill of material by integrating high-density memory and allowing for camera miniaturization.

Parallel image processing architecture

The parallel image processing architecture of the Freescale SCP2200 family enables concurrent processing of image data, which translates into high performance at lower clock frequency than competitors’ current offerings, according to Freescale.

“The SCP2200 family provides highly integrated, cost-effective solutions for smart automotive camera applications, while also offering industry-leading performance at very low power,” said Ray Cornyn, Freescale’s vice president of automotive microcontrollers. “This technology makes smart camera technology practical for most vehicle markets and provides significant safety benefits.”

“CogniVue is pleased to collaborate with Freescale on this complete enablement offering including optimized toolkits and development libraries,” added Simon Morris, CEO of CogniVue Corporation. “The SCP2200 is available with comprehensive software and hardware reference solutions that will accelerate the development of outstanding ADAS (advanced driver assistance system) products.”

Freescale, in cooperation with CogniVue, plans to provide a software development kit, reference design solution and prototype design camera module to accompany the SCP2200 ICPs. The solution set is intended to help reduce a customer’s time to market.
