“This collaboration allows us to optimize the integration of our perception software into SoC developed by Socionext, resulting in extremely stable software operation within vehicles. SVNet running on Socionext’s SoC will be a great solution for the ADAS and autonomous markets where robust performance and safety are essential,” said Junhwan Kim, CEO of StradVision.

StradVision’s pioneering SVNet software allows vehicles to detect and recognize objects on the roads. It performs well even in harsh weather conditions and is able to prevent traffic accidents by processing collected road data with high speed and accuracy.

Compared with competitors, SVNet is compact, requires dramatically less memory capacity to run, and consumes less electricity. It can also be customised for any hardware system thanks to StradVision’s patented and cutting-edge Deep Neural Network enabled software.

SVNet is currently used in mass production models of ADAS and autonomous driving vehicles that support safety function Levels 2 to 4, and will be deployed in more than 9 million vehicles worldwide.
