REDWOOD CITY, Calif. and
SAN JOSE, Calif., Jan. 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Light™ and Cadence
Design Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: CDNS) today announced that Light has
deployed the Cadence® Tensilica® Vision
Q7 DSP for use in Light's Clarity™ Depth Perception Platform, which
provides long-range, high-resolution depth perception using
industry-standard cameras benefiting advanced driver-assistance
systems (ADAS). The Tensilica Vision Q7 DSP provides Light with
real-time data processing, ensuring low-latency, high-bandwidth
transmission of high-resolution output.
Light's solution enables machines to see better than humans by
using two or more cameras, novel calibration and unique signal
processing to provide unprecedented depth quality across the
camera's field of view. Integrating the Tensilica Vision Q7 DSP
into Light's solution enables up to 10X faster processing of
measured depth compared to a quad-core CPU, improving real-time
accuracy and reliability. The highly configurable and extensible
Vision Q7 DSP is accompanied by an array of optimized computer
vision libraries, optional accelerators and toolchains that
efficiently handle such workloads. Light implemented its
proprietary multi-view depth perception algorithms via custom
instructions using the Tensilica Instruction Extension (TIE)
language, resulting in an additional 4X performance improvement
with 3X area/power savings.
For ADAS, meeting functional safety requirements with full ISO
26262 compliance with ASIL-D is crucial. The Tensilica Vision Q7
DSP's availability as certified IP along with certified toolchains,
libraries and a streamlined failure modes, effects and diagnostic
analysis (FMEDA) flow were key factors in Light's selection of the
Vision Q7 DSP.
"Light's solution enables machines to see better than humans,
and a key part of that is processing that information quickly
enough to allow the machine to react to the world around it," said
Dave Grannan, CEO, Light.
"Integrating the Cadence Tensilica Vision Q7 DSP provides us with
enhanced signal processing capabilities at low power with low
latency, which complement the technology in the platform, helping
us to provide accurate and reliable measured depth for future ADAS
systems. Additionally, integrating ISO 26262-certified IP such as
the Tensilica Vision Q7 DSP is critical when designing
automotive-grade solutions."
"The Tensilica Vision Q7 DSP continues to be the de-facto
standard for vision processors in the majority of today's markets,
providing both high performance and a low-power envelope," said
David Glasco, vice president of
research and development for Tensilica IP at Cadence. "Light's
innovative approach to depth perception is quite complex and
achieves real-time processing with high accuracy by integrating the
Vision Q7 DSP into Light's Clarity Depth Perception Platform. This
showcases the Vision Q7 DSP's versatility and strengthens our
footprint in the intelligent automotive space."
The Tensilica Vision Q7 DSP supports Cadence's Intelligent
System Design™ strategy by enabling SoC design excellence. For more
