In-vehicle Camera Module - Visual Hub in the Era of Intelligent Driving
With the penetration rate of new energy vehicles exceeding 30% globally and the rapid iteration of autonomous driving technology from L2 to L4, the on-board camera module, as the ‘visual nerve’ of the car, has become the core component of the intelligent driving system. According to statistics, a single smart car needs to be equipped with 8-12 camera modules to achieve 360° environmental awareness, driver monitoring (DMS) and automatic parking etc. Facing this 100 billion market, Austar, with its in-depth technological cultivation and industry chain integration, is taking the position of industry leader to provide highly reliable and high-performance in-vehicle camera module solutions for car manufacturers.
Application Scenarios and Technical Challenges of Car Camera Modules
1.Diversification of functional requirements
ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System): Capture road signs, pedestrians and obstacles through high pixel modules (e.g., 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens), combined with AI algorithms to achieve accurate identification.
In-cabin monitoring: The infrared camera module supports DMS function to monitor driver fatigue in real time and enhance driving safety.
Surround View System: Multi-camera fusion technology achieves 360° dead-angle monitoring of the car body, optimising the auto-parking experience.
2.Stringent Technical Requirements
Vehicle-mounted camera modules need to meet automotive standards: -40℃~85℃ wide temperature operation, anti-vibration and dust-proof, more than 10 years of service life, and at the same time need to take into account the low-light performance (e.g. HDR technology) and real-time image processing capabilities.
The core competitiveness of Austar: technological breakthroughs and industry chain integration.
1. Full-stack self-developed technology, defining industry benchmarks
High pixel optical design: adopting high transmittance lens and large target surface CMOS sensor, the resolution is as high as 8K, and the signal-to-noise ratio is increased by 40% in dark light environment.
Vehicle-grade reliability: AEC-Q100 certified, the module package adopts nano-scale anti-fog coating and metal anti-vibration structure, suitable for extreme environments.
2.Vertical integration of industry chain, cost reduction and efficiency increase
Localisation of upstream raw materials: in-depth cooperation with OmniVision Technologies (CMOS sensors) and GALAXYCORE (CMOS sensors), etc., to achieve independent control of core components and reduce costs by 25%.
Intelligent manufacturing system: the yield rate of the fully automated production line reaches 99.8%, supporting the annual production capacity of one million to meet the needs of large-scale delivery of automobile enterprises.
Customised solutions: provide different configurations for different car models (e.g. economy/high-end models): the economy model mainly promotes the 2MP multi-camera solution, while the high-end model is equipped with the 8MP + 3D sensing module, taking into account the balance between cost and performance.
Austar: Enabling the New Ecology of Intelligent Driving
With the popularity of 5G-V2X and cabin-driving integration, in-vehicle camera module will further integrate multi-sensor data and become a key node of vehicle-circuit coordination.
In the smart car revolution, Austar takes technology as the anchor and demand as the basis, and continues to promote the performance boundary of in-vehicle camera module. We are not only a hardware supplier, but also a strategic partner in the intelligent transformation of car companies. In the future, Austar will work together with the upstream and downstream of the industry chain to draw a blueprint for safe, efficient and enjoyable travelling.
