Sony FCB camera block
In the current era of rapid development of autonomous driving technology, a vehicle’s precise perception of its surrounding environment is the key to ensuring safety and efficiency. The SONY FCB-EV9520L high-definition camera module, with its outstanding performance and advanced technology, provides powerful visual support for the field of autonomous driving and has become an indispensable “sharp eye” for autonomous vehicles.
1. High-definition image acquisition: Precise perception of the environment
The SONY FCB-EV9520L is equipped with a 1/2.8-inch STARVIS2 CMOS sensor, supporting full HD 1080P/60FPS video output with an effective pixel count of up to 2.13 million. This powerful hardware configuration enables it to capture clear and detailed images, and accurately identify obstacles such as pedestrians, vehicles, trees and roadblocks even in complex traffic environments. For instance, on a busy city street, the SONY FCB-EV9520L can clearly identify pedestrians who suddenly intrude onto the road, providing timely and accurate information for the autonomous driving system, enabling the vehicle to quickly make evasive actions and prevent collision accidents.
2. Super Image Stabilization: A stable and clear visual guarantee
During the driving process of self-driving vehicles, road bumps and body vibrations can cause the images to shake, affecting the system’s judgment of road conditions. The Super Image stabilization function of SONY FCB-EV9520L can capture clear images in severe shake environments and suppress shake blurring. This feature enables the vehicle to provide stable visual information for the system even in complex road conditions, such as rough mountain roads or bumpy trails, ensuring accurate decision-making, reducing the risk of misjudgment, and guaranteeing driving safety.
3. Nighttime Infrared Mode: “Sharp Eyes” in the Dark
Night driving is a major challenge for autonomous driving, as insufficient light can affect image clarity. The ICR ON COLOR (Night Sensing Infrared Color Mode) function of SONY FCB-EV9520L enables the camera to capture color images even under infrared light, optimizing the infrared night vision effect. This provides clear vision for self-driving vehicles at night, enabling them to identify road conditions and objects as they do during the day, thereby enhancing the safety and reliability of night driving.
4. Wide dynamic range: Capable of handling complex lighting conditions
Self-driving vehicles often encounter environments with large contrast between light and dark, such as tunnel entrances and exits, and areas where sunlight and shadow alternate. The Wide Dynamic range (WIDE-D) mode of SONY FCB-EV9520L can correct the light and dark areas of the image, harmonize the contrast between light and dark, and capture high-visibility images. This enables vehicles to accurately identify objects and road conditions even in complex lighting conditions, such as when exiting a tunnel or in urban backlit areas, providing a guarantee for the stable operation of the system.
5. Powerful Zoom and fast auto-focusing: All-round vision
Self-driving vehicles need to comprehensively monitor the surrounding environment. The FCB-EV9520L features 30x optical zoom and 12x digital zoom, capable of capturing the details of distant objects. Its fast zoom speed and precise focusing system ensure clear images at different focal lengths. This enables the vehicle to easily handle monitoring requirements at different distances, such as viewing distant road conditions at high speeds and capturing nearby dynamics in cities, providing comprehensive visual information for the system.
6. Rich video output solutions: Flexible adaptation to the system
The SONY FCB-EV9520L features automatic ICR, wide dynamic range, enhanced visibility and other functions, and can be flexibly configured according to the needs of autonomous driving.
In addition, the SONY FCB-EV9520L can be paired with multiple video output solutions independently developed by Xuanzhan Technology, a provider of high-definition video secondary development solutions: The 3G-SDI, VRS-UD350, SDI/HDMI/CVBS multi-interface output, HD-HDMI, USB3.0 video capture and TYPE-C video capture and other interface boards realize multiple interface video output schemes, which can be flexibly integrated with the autonomous driving system to achieve efficient transmission of image data and precise execution of control instructions. This reduces the difficulty and cost of system integration, enhances stability, and facilitates intelligent driving of autonomous vehicles.
Summary
The SONY FCB-EV9520L high-definition camera module, with its super image stabilization, night-sensing infrared mode, wide dynamic range and other functions, as well as its powerful zoom and focusing capabilities and rich video output solutions, provides a high-performance visual solution for the autonomous driving field. It helps autonomous vehicles drive safely and efficiently in complex environments and promotes the development of autonomous driving technology.
