CES 2018: Automotive 3D Camera System

Hisense Group and its subsidiary Hisense TransTech, a leader in intelligent transportation systems, and Corephotonics, the pioneer for dual camera technologies, will be demonstrating TransportEye, an automotive stereo 3D camera system at CES in Las Vegas, 9th-12th January, 2018.

This is the culmination of an extensive co-development process, with the respective expertise of both companies being pivotal in achieving the highest range and accuracy required for ADAS while fully complying with automobile industry reliability standards.

The TransportEye system has the longest detection range currently supported by any automotive stereo camera – reaching distances of up to 100m.

This is combined with a wide field of view, necessary for earlier hazard detection, plus industry-leading low-light performance. It has a very compact design, with a camera baseline of just 12cm, making it the smallest solution in the industry to possess long range capabilities.

Taking up minimal space, the TransportEye system fits conveniently behind a car’s rearview mirror.

Thanks to the advanced proprietary algorithms allowing sub-pixel accuracy for depth map creation, combined with high precision calibration techniques employed, the TransportEye automotive stereo camera system achieves elevated degrees of depth ranging accuracy – down to 1%.

These algorithms also play a key a role in dynamically compensating for misalignment of cameras due to vibrations and extreme temperature variance.
