Application and market prospects of vehicle cameras in ADAS systems

The vehicle-mounted camera is the main visual sensor of the ADAS system. After collecting images through the lens, the photosensitive component circuit and control component in the camera process the image and convert it into a digital signal that can be processed by the computer, thereby realizing the perception of the road conditions around the vehicle. Vehicle-mounted cameras are mainly used in ADAS functions such as 360-degree panoramic imaging, forward collision warning, lane departure alarm and pedestrian detection. In terms of market competition, CMOS sensors and DSPs are mainly monopolized by foreign companies such as Sony, Samsung, TI, and ON Semiconductor, while domestic companies have advantages in lens group production. With the accelerated growth of the ADAS market, vehicle-mounted camera sensors have a huge market space.
