iCatch Technology, a leading AI image processing IC design company, is excited to announce its participation in the SEMICON Taiwan 2024 Exhibition, taking place from September 4-6, at Nangang TaiNEX Hall 2, 1F, Smart Mobility Pavilion.

At the exhibition, iCatch will showcase Privacy Masking Solutions for GDPR-compliant dashcams powered by the CR5 Automotive AI Vision SoC. The company will also conduct two key sessions on the Smart Mobility Pavilion Stage, offering insights into emerging automotive imaging technologies.

A standout feature of the CR5 is its advanced privacy masking capabilities, including face and license plate blurring, designed to comply with the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This regulation mandates the protection of personal data, such as facial images and license plates captured by dashcams, before storage, use, or sharing.

The CR5's secure engine can automatically encrypt original video streams when the driver accesses the recordings. Only authorized OEMs and law enforcement can decrypt this data, ensuring GDPR compliance while maintaining data integrity.

The CR5 AI Vision SoC, designed for automotive applications, integrates ThetaEye AI ISP Gen 8 for efficient noise reduction and superior low-light imaging. It supports up to 8 cameras with 120dB High Dynamic Range (HDR) and Local Tone Mapping, delivering a total resolution of 4K60.

The SoC features a 1.5 TOPS AI Neural Processor Unit (NPU) for robust AI processing, and a low-power Smart H.265 codec. It also includes an audio DSP with 3A algorithms, USB3.2 Gen 1 and SDIO 3.0 interfaces, enhanced memory bandwidth with LPDDR4 support, and a secure engine that supports AES encryption standards, ensuring robust data protection.

Weber Hsu, General Manager of iCatch Technology, comments, "iCatch Technology's commitment to the Automotive Imaging OE market underscores our focus on innovation and expanding our impact. We are enthusiastic about future opportunities and dedicated to leveraging our existing SoC powered by ThetaEye AI ISP. By incorporating ThetaEye AI ISP IP into a composable VPU platform, we offer customized SoC design services tailored to meet specific client needs."

iCatch Technology has made significant strides in the OEM dashcam market, with mass production scheduled to begin in the fourth quarter of 2024, showing our commitment to the automotive vision sector.
