Automotive Linux Summit & Open Source Summit Japan 2018

Vehicle surround view is one of the key features in Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). Several cameras are equipped around the car to capture the scenes outside. Conventional solution would blend and render streams as topview in display. However, the quality is usually unsatisfied and the display content of topview is limited. With hardware parallel computing development, a new stitching solution is coming for surround view in open source project libxcam in Intel which focuses on image quality improvement and video analysis. The solution can not only get better quality results and more view contents, but also achieve real-time performance. More importantly, it is open source and platform agnostic which will benefit vehicle manufactures in saving development cost, easy deployment, etc. Currently libxcam has already been integrated into Android Open Source Project (AOSP).
