OmniVision's modular ARDS method allows automotive software and imaging system developers to mix and match image sensors, image signal processors, and long-distance serializer modules. With its compact form factor, OmniVision's ARDS is ideally suited for advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), video rearview mirrors, camera management systems (CMS), and dashcams.
 
The imaging systems industry anticipates significant growth in ADAS, including rearview and surround-view camera systems. The New Car Assessment Program (NCAP), a government program for automotive safety, mandates that all new vehicles in the U.S. be equipped with rearview cameras by 2018. Surround-view systems (SVS) are also expected to become an even more popular feature for the luxury vehicle segment within the same timeframe. SVS typically require at least four cameras to provide a 360-degree view. OmniVision's ARDS system enables an ecosystem to design next-generation ADAS systems for the automotive industry.
 
OmniVision's ARDS demo kits incorporate the OmniVision OV2775 image sensor, the optional OV495 image signal processor (ISP), and the serializer camera module. The OV2775 integrates 2.8-micron OmniBSI-2™ Deep Well™ pixel technology, delivering 16-bit linear output from a single exposure with best-in-class low-light sensitivity. The sensor is capable of recording video at 1920 x 1080 resolution at 30 or 60 frames per second with a dynamic range exceeding 120 dB. The OmniVision ARDS system is available in two configurations, with or without the OV495 ISP.
