Magna to Deliver 3D Surround View With Next-Gen Cameras and Electronic Control Units
February 25 2021 - 12:28PM
Global automakers will soon be able to offer 3D surround-view
systems in more vehicles, thanks to Magna’s new surround view
cameras and electronic control units. Starting with 2022 model
years and proliferating across multiple customers and vehicle
platforms, Magna’s next generation cameras and domain controllers
will help make the benefits of 3D surround view – a
driver-assistance technology found mainly in luxury-class vehicles
– available to more consumers.
Magna’s multi-camera system provides a high-resolution,
360-degree field of view around the vehicle. The domain controller
then creates a 3D surround-view image by processing the four camera
images, rendering a seamlessly stitched 3D view of surroundings in
relation to the vehicle. The system helps drivers park in even the
tightest of spaces and provides an enhanced level of comfort and
convenience.
Magna’s system also delivers data to help improve the
performance of other vehicle systems such as emergency braking, and
automatically detects and warns the driver when the camera lens is
impeded by snow, ice, dirt or raindrops.
"By providing a high-performance surround view platform that is
cost-effective, we’re helping our customers bring added safety and
convenience to more drivers,” said Uwe Geissinger, Magna
Electronics President. “This broader on-the-road experience serves
as an excellent enabler for future levels of autonomous driving
that will require advanced 360-degree camera performance and full
system integration.”
Magna provides advanced driver-assistance systems to automakers
around the world, with a focus on the Level 2/2+ systems that serve
as the building blocks for future autonomy. Magna-made ADAS can now
be found on more than 250 vehicle models, providing features that
improve the daily commute and add a layer of driver safety.
