The CMS is able to provide a wider field of view to bring side& rear full-view coverage. The images collected by the external cameras are displayed on the display screen in the car after data processing. Multiple functions can be integrated, such as blind spot warning and obstacle warning, which enhances the detection and early warning capabilities of moving objects around the vehicle. At the same time, based on the cross-domain computing platform, the CMS realizes fusion of advanced driver assistance (ADAS) features.

Unique advantages

YF-tech Possesses product development experience and mass production cases for monitors & cameras and have rich experience in CMS product technology development and manufacturing;

YF-tech has complete R&D capabilities in hardware, structure, software design, ISP image adjustment, functional safety development, which can quickly solve problems that may arise in the CMS system;

YF-tech has the industry-leading lightweight products and heat dissipation design capabilities; the camera module can achieve the smallest design and the body layout space requirements are lower which is conducive to the platform development of the car factory;

As a member of the new GB15084 standard committee, YF-tech has a deeper understanding of industry technology and product development trends.

Application

During driving, the rear + side panoramic view is provided to offer visual assistance for driving scenarios such as starting, turning, merging, changing lanes and reversing;

High Dynamic Range (HDR) display which can effectively deal with environments with strong light changes such as tunnel entrances and exits and eliminate glare caused by high beams;

The night vision enhancement function can ensure drivers to distinguish 24 color cards in the low environmental illumination of 0.1Lux which improves the safety of driving at night;

The LED flicker suppression function eliminates the potential flicker effect of the surrounding LED light source;

Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS) can eliminate jitter and get more steady pictures;

The hydrophobic coating process can effectively reduce the interference of rain then lenses are heated to quickly defrost and defog to ensure driving vision in bad weather.

Prospect

As the GB15084 regulations is to be promulgated, the CMS products represented by YF-tech are about to enter a period of widespread popularization.

2) Product: SA8155 Smart Cockpit

Description

Based on the Qualcomm 8155 chip，the SA8155 Smart Cockpit has achieved the industry-leading overall design. With one-core, multi-screen and multiple operating systems, it meets the requirements of Automotive Safety Integrity Level (ASIL), compatible with QNX, Android and other operating systems to meet customer demands for smart cockpit products to realize high-integration, high-performance, and high-experience.

Unique advantages

Hypervisor virtualization technology is adopted to realize the rapid startup of intelligent cockpit system.

Greatly improving VUI and GUI capabilities, supporting 6-channel video output and 12-channel video input; realizing the linkage of 6 screens of instruments, central control, co-driver and rear row; creating new information and entertainment experiences;

Equipped with Artificial Intelligence (AI) capabilities, the smart cockpit system has built-in integration of such technologies as NGP, DMS, AR-HUD, AVM and automatic parking, making driving more convenient and safer.

Application

Before getting into the car, the digital key can support a long-distance car searching of more than 40 meters. During approaching, it can realize functions such as unlocking the car, opening the door, starting the air conditioner and opening the tailgate with foot movements.

After getting in the car, Face-ID automatically recognizes the driver's identity and realizes personalized settings such as automatic seat adjustment, music playback, fragrance.

During driving, with the support of mobile phone and car interconnection technology, applications such as navigation, audio and video player, entertainment, office meetings, online content services and social networking can be realized through voice recognition or gesture recognition.

The NGP automatic navigation driving system can realize intelligent assistance on-ramp and off-ramp, adaptive cruise control and automatic decision-making to accelerate lane changes;

Visual assist functions of the CMS can effectively improve driving safety, such as blind spot warning, strong light suppression and night vision enhancement.

The DMS will intelligently monitor and warn of behaviors that affect safe driving, such as fatigued driving and distracted driving;

After driving, the AVM and automatic parking functions can realize parking space recognition and help car owners park more conveniently.

Prospect

As the improvement of hardware and algorithms, the application scale of intelligent cockpit, which is the core of human-computer interaction, has been further expanded. Trends such as vehicle-machine interconnection, multi-screen and integrated ADAS functions represented by the SA8155 intelligent cockpit are gradually becoming the standard of intelligent network connection.
