Low-Latency and Low-Power Video Compression in Automotive

The presentation addresses the challenges in transmitting image and sensor data for Autonomous Driving (AD) and Advanced Driving Assistance Systems (ADAS), due to increased bandwidth and power demands. Traditional compression methods like AVC/H.264 or HEVC/H.265 cannot meet the low latency, power, cost, complexity, and thermal efficiency requirements. JPEG XS, developed by intoPIX under the JPEG Committee, offers a solution with its design for lightweight, low-complexity, low-latency, and high-quality lossless compression, supporting ratios from 2:1 to 14:1. This standard allows for efficient compression of high-definition content, reducing bandwidth, power, and cost without sacrificing quality. How can we address the automotive industry’s needs? One answer is by enabling direct compression of raw sensor data and eliminating the need for debayering, thus preserving quality and reducing storage. This technology supports multi-platform interoperability across ASIC, FPGA, CPU and GPUs.
