Video has become a more and more important topic in modern cars. It started some years ago with displays showing movies streamed from DVDs. Today there are multiple infotainment sources like TV tuners, navigation systems, wireless devices brought by the car’s user, etc. A new domain for video applications is Advanced Driver Assist Systems (ADAS), like backup cameras, surround view systems, etc. Future autonomous driving technology requires even more video streaming as stereo cameras, LIDARs and similar system will become part of our cars.
The requirements coming from those applications need to be reflected in the design of the API handling video inside AGL. This presentation will show and discuss those requirements.
