Optimal Cms System On Tda3 Processor

Replacing the traditional automobile side and in-cabin mirrors with a camera mirror system (CMS) poses unique system challenges on latency, imaging, functional safety and LED flicker. This paper introduces various CMS configurations and describes an optimal solution using TI's TDA3 automotive system-on-chip (SOC). The paper proposes an efficient method for LED flicker mitigation, HDR image handling, aspherical emulation for the lens and end-to-end safety concept. The resulting solution is demonstrated to achieve 1 MP (60)fps with < 100ms camera to display latency using only 35% loading of overall TDA3 SOC.
