New CV1 to be demonstrated in “EVA” (Embedded Vehicle
Autonomy) vehicle and autonomous drone during CES 2018
Ambarella, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMBA) a leading developer of low-power,
HD and Ultra HD video processing semiconductors, today announced
CV1, the first in a family of Ultra-HD computer vision processors
based on Ambarella’s new CVflow architecture. CVflow combines over
20 years of pioneering research in environmental perception with
advances in DNN (Deep Neural Network) processing to deliver
stereovision processing and deep learning perception algorithms to
a variety of automotive applications, including ADAS, self-driving,
electronic mirror and surround view systems, as well as video
security cameras and fully autonomous drones.
CV1 supports computer vision processing up to 4K or 8-Megapixel
resolution to enable object recognition and perception at extended
distances. The CVflow architecture is both fully-programmable and
highly-efficient, providing significant computer vision performance
with very low power consumption. Its stereovision processing
provides the ability to detect generic objects without training,
allowing more robust decisions to be made in ADAS and autonomous
vehicle applications. The advanced ISP (Image Signal Processor)
includes HDR (High Dynamic Range) processing to deliver high
quality images, even in low light and high-contrast
environments.
“We are delighted to introduce CV1, the first in a new family of
4K computer vision processors based on our CVflow architecture,”
said Fermi Wang, CEO of Ambarella. “CV1 combines Ambarella’s
traditional strength in high-resolution imaging for human vision
with stereo and neural network processing for advanced computer
vision. It will provide customers with a highly programmable and
high-performance platform to develop the next generation of
intelligent vehicles, drones and IP security cameras.”
A complete set of software development tools is provided for
CV1, including compiler, debugger and support for high-level
decision and low-level perception layers. Customers can easily port
their own neural networks to CV1 using industry-standard training
tools including Caffe™ and TensorFlow™, together with extensive
guidelines for CNN (Convolutional Neural Network) performance
optimizations.
During the CES 2018 show, Ambarella will demonstrate its “EVA”
(Embedded Vehicle Autonomy) vehicle, featuring multiple CV1-based
SuperCam™ cameras to provide 360-degree short- and long-range
perception and precise self-location. SuperCam’s 4K stereovision
processing provides a perception range of over 150 meters for
stereo obstacle detection and over 180 meters for monocular
classification. Its features include automatic calibration, stereo
generic obstacle detection, terrain modeling, traffic light
detection, 3D free space detection, lane detection, and CNN
classification for vehicle, pedestrian, and bicycle/motorcycle.
Also during the show, Ambarella will demonstrate its
fully-autonomous CV1-based SuperDrone™ platform. SuperDrone
features include path planning, target tracking, obstacle
avoidance, multi-point navigation, 3D free space detection,
enhanced safety shield and GPS-denied precise visual
localization.
