■ Real-World Use Cases

Here are some real-world use cases that leverage advanced image processing features of SigmaStar SoCs.

Challenge 1: Excessive noise and unclear details.

Solution: Color Night Vision

Color Night Vision is a technology that generates color images in ultra-low-light environments (as low as 0.1 Lux*) without using IR LEDs.

* When AI ISP is enabled

➡ Significantly reduces noise and delivers clear reproduction of objects and colors even in low-light conditions.

Challenge 2: Outdoor images washed out by strong backlight, making it difficult to identify people and text (e.g., license plates).

Solution: 3F HDR (3-Frame High Dynamic Range)

3F HDR captures details in both extremely bright and dark regions simultaneously.

➡ Suppresses overexposure and enables clear identification of people and critical details even under strong backlight.

Challenge 3: Underexposure causing loss of detail in dark indoor areas.

Solution: WDR (Wide Dynamic Range) & Local Tone Mapping

WDR maintains clear detail in scenes with mixed brightness levels, while local tone mapping maintains optimal brightness and contrast for each image region.

➡ Optimizes indoor brightness and reproduces furniture and interior details with exceptional clarity.
