SENSING launches OMNIVISION's latest 8MP image sensor camera
After four years, the highly anticipated 2024 Beijing International Automobile Exhibition kicked off on April 25th. As a major event and landmark in the global automotive industry, it gathered over a thousand enterprises to compete on stage under the theme of "New Era, New Automobile", launching various new cars and technologies, and embarking on a journey to the vast new era of automobiles.
As a technology innovation company dedicated to providing high-quality images for intelligent driving and autonomous machines, SZ Sensing TECH CO.,LTD (hereinafter referred to as SENSING) recently launched the industry's first in car camera module based on the latest OMNIVISION 8 million image sensor OX08D10, which can effectively solve the needs of advanced driving assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous driving (AD) for higher resolution and image quality, and assist in the intelligent upgrading of the automotive industry.
OMNIVISION's latest 8 million image sensor
OX08D10 is the first brand new 2.1 micron TheiaCel using OMNIVISION™ An 8-megapixel CMOS image sensor utilizing next-generation Lateral Overflow Integrated Capacitor (LOFIC) and OmniVision's DCG technology ™ High Dynamic Range (HDR) technology can accurately capture LED lights and eliminate flickering artifacts under various driving conditions. With TheiaCel ™ Technology, OX08D10 can achieve HDR image capture within a range of 200 meters, achieving the best balance between SNR1 and dynamic range. In addition, OX08D10 also has industry-leading low light performance and low power consumption, with a volume 50% smaller than similar sensors.

Forest Cloud 8-megapixel OX08D10 camera module
With its full stack technology capability in high-quality imaging and rich production experience, SENSING has successfully developed a series of camera module products based on the OMNIVISION 8M sensor OX08D10, combined with the company's industry advantages in intelligent driving and perception imaging - SG8S-OX08DC-G2A.
This product is based on the OX08D10 CMOS image sensor, with a sensor area of 1/1.73 inches and a 2.1um pixel size. It uses the GMSL2 serial MAX9295A, which can achieve a dynamic range of 140dB and supports a resolution of 3840x2160 with 8 million high pixels. This also means that the camera can capture detailed and high-quality images, effectively meeting the needs of the camera to obtain high-definition video streams in complex and changing driving scenes, as well as the effective recognition of long-distance obstacles.
In terms of appearance, the SENSING SG8S-OX08DC-G2A camera module has an overall size of only 30mm * 30mm * 22.5mm and weighs about 80g. It is compact and easy to install, and the product can meet the protection level of vehicle regulations. It is particularly suitable for autonomous driving and assisted driving scenarios such as car mounted and unmanned cars. In addition, to meet more customer needs, SENSING has also launched a series of camera products that can adapt to various serial device solutions and interface protocols for selection.
