Developing high-end on-board FPGA camera features market

Altera Corporation announced that SANYO electronic co., Ltd. in its CCA-BC200 rearview reversing camera system uses the Cyclone ® II FPGA and Nios ® II embedded processor. Cyclone II FPGA Nios II embedded processor for Sanyo company provides high-performance image processing solution, reduce the distortion of the wide angle and angular deflection. And digital signal processor (DSP) programme is a single-chip FPGA compared to the more compact, more reliable solutions, while the former is usually require two or more devices.

CCA-BC200 is the industry's first aftermarket rear view back up camera system.

The system can be connected to all car video monitoring systems, digital image correction, image more clear naturally.

Sanyo electronic co., Ltd. Manager of advanced technology centres Hitoshi Hongo commented: "the Cyclone II FPGA and Nios II embedded processor offers advanced features very valuable, and other programmes, we can more efficiently implement advanced signal processing features.

Use of Altera's Quartus II software, we not only improves the level of integration, but also gain a significant advantage to market the product in a timely manner, this software can help us to rapidly implement complex design. Considering these factors, Altera's solutions in our industry's first commercial vehicle camera system plays an important role in the system's many features previously only available in Deluxe car to see. ”

Altera's Cyclone II FPGA with its Nios II embedded processor, enables high-performance image processing functions, such as zoom and encoding, and control functions, performance exceeded the many consumer automotive application of DSP processors and microcontrollers.

Sanyo uses Altera solutions for image conversion, filtering, smoothing and mixed, and so on advanced algorithms that provide real-time for CCA-BC200 "FishEye" correction function, prevent the distortion of the "ladder". These feature makes clear, correct image, help drivers safely back to clearly see what's on the road.

Altera Automobile Sales Department senior marketing manager Dave Elliott said: "Sanyo introduced several CCA-BC200 Altera support technology, so that the driver in the car will not be harmed.

From image enhancement to the Center from image adjustment technology, Altera Cyclone II FPGA and Nios II embedded processor combo to support leading-edge innovative applications such as CCA-BC200 etc very valuable high-performance flexible solutions. ”
