ALI360-Y Unmanned Vehicle GMSL Camera

Product Overview

The ALI360-YH is a high-performance 3-megapixel industrial camera module built on a SmartSens 3MP automotive-grade CMOS image sensor, designed for the demanding onboard environment of low-speed unmanned vehicles with high reliability, high stability, and outstanding image-capture performance.

The module integrates a high-performance ISP (Image Signal Processor) with auto exposure (AE), auto white balance (AWB), auto gain control (AGC), color correction, and distortion correction. Image parameters can be flexibly configured per application scenario, improving image quality while offloading processing from the host SoC.

With a dynamic range exceeding 120 dB, the camera handles complex lighting such as tunnel entry/exit, strong backlight, and high-contrast night scenes — effectively suppressing overexposure and underexposure to keep critical image information complete and recognizable, delivering high-quality raw image data for low-speed unmanned vehicle driving systems.

Video is transmitted over a GMSL high-speed serial interface with high bandwidth, low latency, and strong electromagnetic interference immunity, supporting long-distance coaxial cable transmission that meets the strict stability and real-time requirements of low-speed unmanned vehicles. PoC (Power over Coax) support carries video and power over a single cable, greatly simplifying vehicle harness design, reducing integration complexity, and improving reliability and maintainability.

This product is ideal for vision applications on low-speed unmanned vehicles, wrecker vehicles, and similar platforms, providing a stable, sharp, high-dynamic-range image input for intelligent driving perception systems.

Key Features

  • High-Resolution Imaging

    3MP automotive-grade CMOS image sensor meeting the strict requirements for long-term stability, environmental resilience, and safety in industrial applications.
    Integrated ISP with AE/AWB, distortion correction, and more — optimizing image quality while reducing host compute load.

  • High Dynamic Range Imaging

    ≥120 dB HDR keeps dark and bright detail clearly visible even in strong light, backlight, and high-contrast scenes, significantly improving object recognition and perception reliability.

  • HDR Technology

    Dynamic range above 120 dB captures detail in complex environments where bright light and dark shadows coexist.

  • Multi-Camera Synchronized Capture

    Hardware-level synchronized triggering keeps multi-channel images time-aligned — ideal for surround view, stereo vision, and multi-sensor fusion, improving system perception accuracy.

  • Intrinsic Calibration Support

    Camera intrinsic calibration with parameter persistence simplifies system-level calibration and algorithm deployment, improving geometric accuracy and stability.

  • GMSL2 High-Bandwidth Transmission

    Data is transmitted over the GMSL 2 (Gigabit Multimedia Serial Link) protocol, delivering high bandwidth and low latency with secure connectivity, strong interference immunity, and long transmission distances.

  • PoC Power over Coax Design

    PoC carries power and video over a single cable, reducing harness count, simplifying vehicle wiring, and lowering integration and maintenance costs.
