Rugged NVIDIA® Jetson Orin™ NX/ Xavier™ NX GMSL2 Camera Sensor Hub for Autonomous Vehicles and Teleoperation
|
|
Introduction
NRU-51V series is a rugged Jetson Orin™ NX/ Xavier™ NX computer supporting GMSL2 cameras that can act either as a sensor hub or a perception unit for ADAS, teleoperation, autonomous mobile robots, and autonomous vehicles.
By supporting GMSL2 automotive cameras (including third-party options such as TierIV and Intel® RealSense™ cameras), the NRU-51V+ gains enhanced vision capabilities, including advanced features such as high dynamic range (120dB HDR), auto white balance (AWB), and LED flicker mitigation (LFM). Additionally, the IP67 waterproof capability of GMSL2 automotive cameras makes deployment much more flexible for outdoor applications. NRU-51V+ can obtain high quality images with minimal latency regardless of lighting conditions, from bright sunny days to pitch-black nights. Moreover, it has a unique synchronization mechanism capable of acquiring images from four GMSL2 cameras simultaneously within microseconds channel-to-channel skew. It can further accept GPS PPS signal to align image data with LIDAR or synchronize cameras on other systems.
Thanks to the great power efficiency of NVIDIA® Jetson Orin NX™ SOM, NRU-51V+ delivers 100 TOPS inference performance in its 25W power package. Users can transfer raw camera images through its built-in 10GBASE-T Ethernet to another GPU server for perception processing, but also leverage its significant TOPS for real-time object or ROI detection. For teleoperation applications, users can utilize its hardware H.264/265 video codec, to encode video streams from four GMSL2 cameras in real-time and transmit the live video feed to a driver at a remote location via 5G telecommunication with minimum latency.
The combination of GMSL2 interface and Jetson Orin™ NX makes NRU-51V+ much more than just a simple edge AI computer. With greater vision brought by automotive cameras plus I/O interfaces such as 10GbE, CAN 2.0, and M.2 for 5G broadband, NRU-51V+ plays a central role in a moving platform, as a sensor hub for ADAS, a perception unit for AGV/ AMR, or a teleoperation controller for off-highway vehicles.
