Sony Semiconductor Solutions to Release CMOS Image Sensor for Automotive Cameras with Industry-Leading 17.42-Effective Megapixels

Retrieved on: 
Tuesday, September 12, 2023

ATSUGI, Japan, Sept. 12, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Sony Semiconductor Solutions Corporation (SSS) today announced the upcoming release of the IMX735, a new CMOS image sensor for automotive cameras with the industry's highest*1 pixel count, at 17.42 effective megapixels.*2 The new sensor product will support the development of automotive camera systems capable of sophisticated sensing and recognition performance, thereby contributing to safe, secure automated driving.

Key Points: 
  • The new sensor product achieves the industry's highest*1 pixel count of 17.42 effective megapixels,*2 enabling high-definition capture of far-off objects.
  • Moreover, automated driving systems often use automotive cameras in combination with LiDAR and other sensing systems.
  • While typical CMOS image sensors readout signals output from pixels one vertical line at a time, this product outputs signals horizontally, one row at a time.
  • This means that automotive cameras employing this sensor can more easily synchronize with mechanical scanning LiDAR*4, since their laser beams also scan horizontally.

Google turns 25: the search engine revolutionised how we access information, but will it survive AI?

Retrieved on: 
Sunday, September 3, 2023

With billions of search queries submitted each day, it’s difficult to remember how we ever lived without the search engine.

Key Points: 
  • With billions of search queries submitted each day, it’s difficult to remember how we ever lived without the search engine.
  • Let’s look at how our access to information has changed through the decades – and where it might lead as advanced AI and Google Search become increasingly entwined.

1950s: public libraries as community hubs

    • So in the 1950s information in Western countries was primarily provided by local libraries.
    • They answered phone queries from businesses and responded to letters – helping people find information quickly and accurately.
    • Libraries were more than just a place to borrow books.

1990s: the rise of paid search services

    • By the 1990s, libraries had expanded to include personal computers and online access to information services.
    • Commercial search companies thrived as libraries could access information through expensive subscription services.
    • These systems were so complex that only trained specialists could search, with consumers paying for results.
    • Another commercial search system, The Financial Times’ FT PROFILE, enabled access to articles in every UK broadsheet newspaper over a five-year period.

The rise of Google

    • Libraries provided public web access, and services such as the State Library of Victoria’s Vicnet offered low-cost access for organisations.
    • After launching on September 4 1998, the Google revolution was in motion.
    • In terms of functionality, Google Search was effective for a few reasons.
    • Although consumers now search Google for free, payment is required to download certain articles and books.

What will the next 25 years bring?

    • Gmail, Google Drive, Google Calendar, Pixel devices and other services show Google’s reach is vast.
    • With the introduction of AI tools, including Google’s Bard and the recently announced Gemini (a direct competitor to ChatGPT), Google is set to revolutionise search once again.
    • A key challenge will be ensuring people don’t become complacent to the point that they blindly trust the generated outputs.
    • After all, we have seen generative AI tools such as ChatGPT make headlines due to “hallucinations” and misinformation.
