NCAP front camera application starter kit significantly reduces development efforts and speeds time-to-market

Renesas Electronics has released the R-Car V3M Starter Kit to simplify and speed up the development of NCAP front camera applications, surround view systems, and LiDARs. The new kit is based on the R-Car V3M image recognition SoC, giving a combination of high performance and low power consumption for the growing NCAP front camera market. By combining the kit with supporting software and tools, system developers can simply develop front camera applications, offering reduced development efforts and faster time-to-market. The new starter kit, the SoC, and supporting software and tools as well as the company's open-source e² studio IDE, are part of their open, innovative, and trusted autonomy Platform for ADAS and automated driving that delivers total end-to-end solutions scaling from cloud to sensing and vehicle control. “With the R-Car V3M Starter Kit, Renesas significantly reduces development efforts and accelerates time-to-market for the rapidly growing market of NCAP cameras,” said Jean-Francois Chouteau, vice president, Renesas Electronics Corporation. “Following our announcements on the R-Car V3M SoC and our partnership with HELLA Aglaia for front camera application software, the starter kit completes the offering to develop state-of-the-art front camera solutions.”
