Capturing multiple camera data during test drives
quintessentially proFRAME Use case overview:
Test Drive Data Record: During the test drive, video data from a number of on-board cameras is captured synchronously. This data provides key support for driver assistance functions such as traffic sign recognition, lane departure warning and park assist, as well as for the operation of the automated driving system (ADAS/AD).
Driving Scene Reproduction and Verification: The driving scenes are recorded as part of the test drive (data logging) and synchronized with the video streams from the respective cameras with high precision time stamping. These scenes are then used for hardware-in-the-loop (HiL) testing to verify system functionality with real sensor data.
Modular Video Capture and Playback System: Solectrix proFRAME The series supports mainstream GMSL™ and FPD-Link™ in-vehicle cameras, which have been widely used in data loggers for many years, demonstrating stable and reliable performance.
proFRAME 3.0 Features and Benefits：
- Equipped with two camera adapter slots, each supporting up to 40 Gbit/s data rates.
- Supports the latest technologies including GMSL™3 and FPD-Link™ IV for simultaneous recording of up to 8 4K videos.
- Highly accurate hardware timestamps that support external trigger synchronization with other recording devices.
- Provides power-over-coaxial cable (PoC) function with programmable voltage to meet the camera's power needs.
proFRAME 3.0 is a powerful modular solution that provides a high degree of flexibility and accuracy in vehicle data recording and testing for a wide range of driver assistance and autonomous driving applications.
ADAS/AD validation through hardware-in-the-loop testing
In the Hardware-in-the-Loop (HiL) test for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and Autonomous Driving (AD), driving scenes are imported into the ADAS/AD control unit (ECU) in the form of video streams and precisely played back in time-stamped recordings made during a test drive to verify the accuracy and reliability of the functionality.
proFRAME Provides a highly efficient video capture and playback system for synchronized playback of driving scenes in HiL systems, supporting the video streaming format of most current serializers such as GMSL and FPD-Link. The latest proFRAME 3.0 Equipped with two camera adapter slots, data rates up to 40 Gbit/s, and support for GMSL™3 and FPD-Link™ IV technologies, it allows simultaneous recording and playback of up to 8 channels of 4K video with precise control via timestamps or external triggers.
For HiL systems based on ROS or ADTF software platforms, proFRAME provides proprietary integration templates (ROS™ suite or ADTF plug-in) to quickly connect to the proFRAME software APIs for seamless integration with HiL systems, providing powerful support for testing and validation of driving scenarios.
Validation, Testing and Data Logging of Automotive Touch Panel Displays
proFRAME with H-MTD® connector is used to calibrate and validate displays where video and control data is transmitted over STP cables (shielded twisted pair), such as HMI displays, rear-seat entertainment systems, or rearview mirror replacement system displays.
Typical display applications:
- Display verification and calibration:Use proFRAME (PCIe® or CompactPCI® serial) to transfer the test image from the host system to the display/DuT (Device Under Test).
- Automatic performance testing of touch panel displays:Through the return channel (I 2 C) Capturing and transmitting touch events to the validation system.
- Data Logging: proFRAME acts as a “middleman” between the car display and the ECU for recording video streams and touch events.
Validation of vehicle internal control system
Drowsiness warning systems are now required by law in all parts of the European Union. With the aid of suitable accessories, proFRAME can be used for development and validation. With the LED driver adapter ledAD3, the user can choose to drive one or more LEDs during video data acquisition, e.g. LED. B. Synchronization with the camera's sensor exposure to control IR LEDs for indoor lighting. The LED driver adapter ledAD3 plugs directly into the proFRAME Baseboard 3.0, just like the camera adapter camAD3. The LEDs to be synchronized are connected to the ledAD3 using the supplied connector. The LEDs are powered by the ledAD3 via an adjustable constant current source, the output of which is switched by a trigger signal from the camera sensor, which is connected to the camera adapter on the same proFRAME Baseboard 3.0 (Fig. 1).
Figure 1: Synchronization of LEDs with camera sensors during video data acquisition
As an option to the ledAD3 Base, the ledAD3 Expansion module controls additional LEDs that are synchronized with the second camera's trigger signals. The ledAD3 Expansion plugs directly into the ledAD3 Base and therefore does not occupy any additional slots on the proFRAME Base Board 3.0. Thus, the complete system consists of the proFRAME Base Board 3.0, the camera adapter camAD3 as well as the ledAD3 Base and the optional ledAD3 Expansion. With such a system, the LEDs can be synchronized with one or two cameras (see Figure 2).
