Cheer for the dedicated GEO image processor in the automotive / security market

GEO Semiconductor is making every effort to open up territory in the automotive and security control image processing chip market. GEO Semiconductor, which completed the acquisition of Maxim's Digital Imaging Division at the beginning of the year, is working closely with first-line lens manufacturers and system operators to develop high-performance, low-cost imaging through the eWARP image processor that combines geometric correction, image compression, and vector arithmetic functions -Style advanced driver assistance system (ADAS), head-up display (HUD) and various IP monitoring equipment to seize market opportunities.

Brian Gannon, Vice President of Business Development and Marketing of GEO Semiconductor, mentioned that Skype TV and cloud monitoring equipment are also the company's layout priorities, and will continue to develop new solutions with partners in the future.

Brian Gannon, vice president of business development and marketing at GEO Semiconductor, said that since its establishment four years ago, GEO has continuously acquired software and hardware suppliers such as image algorithms, H.264 compression, and vector processors. It can absorb hundreds of image processing patents and develop the industry's unique eWARP image processing system single chip (SoC).

In fact, GEO has won the favor of more than 50 system customers such as Sony, Bosch, Delta, Samsung and Pelco through the highly software-hardware integrated eWARP image processor, which is used to enhance vehicle images The image processing capabilities of security systems, security control equipment and various consumer electronics, and improve the cost of system design generally based on digital signal processors (DSPs).

Gannon analyzed that with the rapid increase in the security surveillance image market, the industry's requirements for the performance and cost of related solutions are also more stringent; and the realization of wide-angle surveillance with the minimum number of lens installations has become the focus of the development of new generation IP surveillance equipment Only a dedicated image processor can meet the above requirements.

As for the ADAS system that has gradually matured in automobiles, and HUD projection equipment with considerable application potential, more advanced dedicated image processors are also urgently needed. Gannon emphasized that for video surveillance system developers, the more information the product can cover, the better, but the large amount of content also means that the analysis is more difficult, resulting in a rising demand for multiple algorithms built into the processor. At this stage, GEO has released an ADAS reference design based on the eWARP image processor, which can simultaneously support the image calculation of four VGA car lenses, reducing the development cost and time to market of image-based ADAS.

Taking HUD projection equipment as an example, since automobile windshields are mostly curved, the existing digital light source processing (DLP) micro-projection solution needs to add many optical calibration components to increase the overall cost; in contrast, the built-in The eWARP image processor with various algorithms can automatically correct the projection image angle, reducing the system development complexity and manual adjustment time.
