Sony releases 7.4 megapixel stacked CMOS

Sony has launched a new 1/1.7-type stacked Cmos image sensor with a 7.42 (effective) megapixel RCCC filter for forward sensing cameras in advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). The IMX324 aims to provide high definition imaging of signs approximately 160m ahead of the camera. In pixel binning mode the low light sensitivity is increased to 2,666 mV, to capture images in conditions down to 0.1 lux. In mixed lighting scenes (such as headlights and streetlights) it alternately captures dark sections at

576 Sony has launched a new 1/1.7-type stacked Cmos image sensor  with a 7.42 (effective) megapixel RCCC filter for forward sensing cameras in advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS).

The IMX324 aims to provide high definition imaging of signs approximately 160m ahead of the camera. In pixel binning mode the low light sensitivity is increased to 2,666 mV, to capture images in conditions down to 0.1 lux.

In mixed lighting scenes (such as headlights and streetlights) it alternately captures dark sections at high-sensitivity settings and bright sections at high resolution which are combined during processing.

    Enforcement systems provider Vitronic has won two significant fixed and mobile enforcement contracts in Dubai and Iraqi Kurdistan. Dubai Police has recently awarded the company a fur­ther contract for fixed traffic enforcement systems, including PoliScan speed enforcement, combined red light and speed enforcement systems, and vio­lation processing software. The stationary PoliScan speed systems monitor all ve­hicles in the surveillance zone equally, regardless of their posi­tion on the road. The systems in

    Single-camera bi-directional speed enforcement can reduce the cost of enforcing speeding on two-way roads without repositioning the camera. Truvelo has received UK type-approval for a simultaneous bi-directional (SBD) enforcement camera, the D-Cam P digital, which can capture speeding motorist both those travelling towards and away from the camera. It is also in the process of carrying out the first installations of the D-Cam P in the UK.

    The latest research from Lux Research indicates that automakers and technology developers are closer than ever to bringing self-driving cars to market, with basic Level 2 autonomous behaviour already coming to market, in the form of relatively modest self-driving features like adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, and collision avoidance braking. With these initial steps, automakers are already on the road to some level of autonomy, but costs remain high in many cases. It is the higher levels
