The best approach for achieving this is to separate sensor and Image sensor Processing ISP function, either within the camera module through a companion chip or in the Electronic Control Unit ECU.

So Qualcomm is banking on this combination of the Clear Sight dual cameras and the Spectra ISP to get them into the game of camera modules for smartphones where competition is pretty intense.

The hardware framework and working principle of the lane detection system composed of CMOS camera and DSP image processing module are introduced in detail in the paper.
