SoC from Fujitsu for 360 Degree wraparound view of car surroundings

Fujitsu Semiconductor has designed a SoC chip coded MB86R24 for processing video data from cameras around the car to produce a 360 Degree wraparound view. MB86R24 has 6 full HD input channels and 3 display output channels to help detect the objects approaching the car and notifies drivers of nearby people, bicycles and other objects by providing a 360° Wraparound View System that allows drivers to check their entire surroundings in 3D from any angle. This chip will also support development of integrated Human Machine Interface (HMI) systems that consolidate and provide centralized control over a variety of onboard vehicle information. Until now, the display of such information on multiple screens has been controlled independently for each screen, says Fujitsu. The 360° Wraparound View System uses cameras facing forward, backward, left, and right to synthesize a 3D model of the environment and then display the surroundings from any perspective (Figure below).
Fujitsu Semiconductor also offers the software needed to build systems using this chip. Product Features: The CPU employs two ARM Cortex-9 cores along with the PowerVR SGX543 3D graphics, enabling roughly double the CPU performance and 5 times the GPU performance of its predecessors. MB86R24 also features Fu...
