From Photon to Perception: Rethinking HDR Validation for Automotive Cameras

High dynamic range (HDR) imaging has become essential for modern ADAS and autonomous driving systems, but producing a visually appealing image does not always result in better perception performance.
Trade-offs between LED flicker mitigation, motion blur, dynamic resolution and low-light performance can significantly affect how reliably vehicles detect and interpret their surroundings. We spoke with Gabriel Bowers, Senior Principal Engineer at Mobileye, about why traditional image quality metrics are no longer enough, how real-world HDR validation should be approached, and why a “photon to KPI” methodology is becoming increasingly important for safety-critical automotive camera systems.
