A new monocular front camera delivering image signals from the area in front of the car and classifying objects.
The front camera in the Audi A8 is a passive optical system. Mounted on the rear-view mirror, it generates 36 individual images per second and has a range of 80 meters in good conditions.
The camera, designed by Audi and manufactured by Aptiv in Hungary, is one of the most compact models in its category. Unlike stereo cameras that can precisely capture both motion and depth, the monocular A8’s camera requires algorithms to predict movements of an object. The camera uses a well-known 1.2Mp CMOS Image Sensor from On Semiconductor and an 8-bit Microcontroller from Microchip. Image mapping and recognition software, powered by Mobileye’s EyeQ3 processing chip, are decentralized in zFAS Control Unit.
Based on a complete teardown analysis of the Audi A8 Front Camera, the report provides the bill-of-material (BOM) and the manufacturing cost of the Camera. The report also includes a physical analysis of the Lens Module. Also, the complete cost analysis and a selling price estimation are calculated.
