Significant Growth Potential for Image Sensors in Automotive Market
10 February 2014
Image sensors are used effectively in a range of
applications, from photographic to medical. One sector in which image
sensors are currently experiencing particularly impressive growth
potential is in automotive, specifically in Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS).ADAS use image sensors to improve a driver's safety on the road by offering features such as parking assistance (APA), lane departure warning (LDW), and collision avoidance systems, all of which can help the car to gather information about the outside world. In order to offer these various features, ADAS embraces a number of technologies such as sensors, radar, lidar and integrated cameras to provide the driver with an all-round picture of their surroundings.
