kuai technology news on october 6, sony released the isx038 image sensor, which is used in car cameras.

according to the official introduction, the isx038 image sensor is equipped with sony's self-developed isp (image signal processor), which can independently process and output the external environment detection required for advanced driver assistance systems (adas) and autonomous driving systems (ad). and recognized raw images, as well as yuv images provided for use by vehicle-mounted equipment such as driving recorders and ar cameras.

in terms of image functionality, the isx038 also performs well. the sensor can simultaneously enable hdr and led flicker suppression functions to ensure that targets can be accurately captured and identified in various complex environments. especially in environments with large differences in light and darkness, such as tunnel entrances and exits, the hdr function can significantly improve vehicle detection and identification capabilities.

in view of the widespread application of led equipment in current transportation facilities, the led flicker suppression function of isx038 is particularly important. during hdr shooting, this sensor can effectively suppress the flicker of leds and ensure the stability and clarity of the shot.

in addition, the isx038 image sensor also adopts a self-developed pixel structure and exposure method to further increase the saturated illumination range. when using hdr shooting and led flicker suppression at the same time, the sensor can achieve a wide dynamic range of up to 106db (up to 130db under the dynamic range priority setting). this design not only improves shooting quality, but also helps reduce motion artifacts when shooting moving objects.

it is worth mentioning that the isx038 image sensor is compatible with sony’s existing products currently used by many car manufacturers, so there is no need to worry about compatibility issues. at the same time, the sensor will obtain "level 2" certification of the "aec-q100" automotive application reliability test standard before mass production, and adopt a development process that complies with the "iso 26262" road vehicle functional safety standard to ensure vehicle safety. level "asil-b(d)" requirements provide automobile manufacturers with safer and more reliable solutions.
