ARM processor Mali-C720AE

for automotive applicationssignal

The first ISP combining functional safety with configurability and designed for imaging applications in a software-defined vehicle. A dual pipeline architecture reduces latency for the most demanding computer vision applications without compromising outstanding image quality for human viewing/displays. Accompanied by a suite of tools, including a novel differentiable ISP model, Mali-C720AE enables a cost-efficient hardware/software co-development, image quality tuning and accelerated time to market. This is our most performant, most flexible, and most efficient automotive ISP ever. Features and Benefits Flexible Configurable Architecture Three base configurations and use of optional modules support the balance between PPA and image quality required for specific applications, without compromising functional safety. Dual Computer & Human Vision Pipeline To reduce latency, two base configurations of Mali-C720AE provide parallel processing pipelines that can be tuned for different image quality requirements of computer vision and display applications. In addition, four parallel outputs can be used, providing options for downscaling, cropping, foveated vision, and Gaussian pyramid output.  Differentiable ISP Differentiable ISP model (available with a standalone license) enables fast and cost-efficient image quality tuning to maximize the overall performance of computer vision applications. Specifications Arm Mali-C720AE features the latest technologies for automotive image processing, including: Multi-camera support (up to 16 sensors) Native HDR support with a 24-bit processing pipeline and industry-leading Iridix™ local tone mapping engine
