Smarter, Safer Surround-View For Cars


With modern advancements in automotive safety, we are seeing advanced driving assistance systems (ADAS) such as surround-view become the new standard in modern cars. This demonstration shows how this application can be enhanced with the addition of accurate real-time reflections and AI to detect hazards that make cars safer. First, let’s start with the graphics problem. Have you ever l... » read more

Navigation Rendering Techniques


Visualization of navigation data is a complex task. The graphics should be appealing, informative, running at a high frame rate, and utilizing low power consumption at the same time. This whitepaper deals with the efficient rendering of navigation maps on the tile-based deferred rendering architecture of the PowerVR chipset families. The navigation demo, which can be found in the PowerVR SDK, i... » read more
