Expanding its line up of image recognition processors, Toshiba has announced the TMPV760, targeted at advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS).Expanding its line up of image recognition processors, Toshiba has announced the TMPV760, targeted at advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS).
Supported by 14 hardware based image recognition accelerators, the device supports standard ADAS systems, including autonomous emergency braking, traffic light recognition, lane departure warning, lane keeping assist, high beam assistance and forward collision warning.
It also supports a number of new applications that will become part of the Euro NCAP testing programme in 2018.
The TMPV7608XBG integrates two new enhanced CoHOG accelerators that provide high image recognition accuracy, especially in low light and night time conditions.
Toshiba claims the device greatly improves night time pedestrian detection rates using colour based gradient analysis of images supplied by Full HD connected cameras.
In addition, the TMPV7608XBG supports a SfM (Structure from Motion) accelerator that detects objects not part of a pre-defined library.
The processor can handle multiple applications simultaneously in real time using its heterogeneous multi core architecture. It features newly integrated image processing accelerators and eight MPEs supported by FPUs that perform double precision floating point arithmetic calculations.
The chip is housed in a P-FBGA 796 ball package measuring 27 x 27mm. Ball pitch is 0.8mm.
