South Korean vision perception specialist STRADVISION is partnering Horizon Robotics, a Beijing-based provider of energy-efficient automotive computing. The collaboration will focus on production-quality implementation of STRADVISION’s perception technology, SVNet, on Horizon’s Journey series computing platform. The aim is to provide improved ADAS for Tier 1s and OEMs.

STRADVISION’s SVNet is designed to provide vision-based object detection and recognition, even in challenging weather conditions. It has been optimised on Horizon’s Journey computing solutions through the Horizon OpenExplorer software development toolkit.

“The automotive landscape is undergoing a rapid transformation,” said Dr Yu Kai, founder and CEO of Horizon Robotics, “STRADVISION’s production-proven perception solution enables market-competitive ADAS implementation. Through its optimisation on Horizon’s energy-efficient computing solutions, we will together bring safer and more competitive products, and promote the digital transformation of the automotive industry.”

“Horizon’s Journey computing solutions, renowned for their industry-leading compute efficiency and minimal power consumption, have been meticulously crafted for ADAS/AD applications,” remarked Dr. Junhwan Kim, CEO of STRADVISION. He further emphasised, “This strategic collaboration underscores STRADVISION’s commitment to our mission of delivering highly adaptable vision perception technology. We empower automotive players to seamlessly integrate our technology with a spectrum of hardware options, thereby expediting the evolution towards software-defined vehicles.”

STRADVISION’s SVNet is now available on Horizon Robotics Journey series computing solutions. Together, both companies aim to accelerate jointly the mobility transformation of the automobile industry and bring more value to consumers with an enhanced driving experience to prioritise safety, convenience, and enjoyment.
