Overview
Arm Mali-C78AE builds on the high-performance capabilities of the Mali-C71AE ISP, combined with the class-leading image quality performance seen in Mali-C52 for IoT. It’s designed for use in automotive ADAS and display applications that share cameras for both functions.
Key features
- Multi-Camera Support
- Up to 4 real-time, or 16 camera streams from memory. Simultaneous inputs from a mix of sensor and CFA types.
- Advanced Image Processing
- Image quality enhancements for display, providing high-quality outputs from sensors developed for machine vision applications.
- Every Pixel Reliable
- Real-time hardware safety features for ADAS and HMI applications, with every pixel tagged for reliability.
- Robust Safety Capabilities
- Safety features that meet ASIL B/SIL 2 diagnostic requirements and ASIL D/SIL 3 for the avoidance of systematic failure.
- Dynamic Range Management
- 24-bit dynamic range processing with independent dynamic range management for optimum display or CV outputs.
- Computer Vision Processing
- Scaled outputs, region-of-interest crops and planar histograms, supporting advanced CV applications.
