Injection of Virtual Images
HIL Testing of Automotive ADAS ECUs With Simulated Camera Image Streams
HIL testing of automotive camera ECUs with simulated sensors.
The increasing number of automotive cameras and their importance for vehicle control functions makes road testing under the wide range of conditions of the operational design domain an impossible task.
The solution: DYNA4 generates realistic raw camera data from virtual test drives and injects it directly into the ECU. Achieve deterministic, reproducible test conditions and numerous variations for your camera-based functions.

Advantages
- Avoids the inaccuracies of traditional real camera over-the-air screen recording
- Enables test benches for multi-camera ECUs
- Deterministic and reproducible test conditions compared to road testing
- Variable and controllable environment and weather conditions
- Test of calibration error detection, e.g. from camera misalignment
- Automated and scalable variation of complex traffic scenarios
Applications
Test of camera-based ADAS control units/functions. Typical examples:
- Automated parking
- Surround view
- Blind spot monitor
- Collision avoidance
- Lane keeping
- Traffic sign recognition
- Head light assist
- Driver/interior monitoring
Virtual Image Injection System Overview
- DYNA4 vehicle and environment simulation provides virtual test drive scenarios.
- DYNA4 camera simulation models generate virtual raw image data with consistent frame header, footer, and embedded lines.
- The Vector Video Interface Board, equipped with a suitable serializer chip for GMSL or FPD-Link, outputs serialized image streams synchronously for injection into the ADAS ECU.
- I2C back-channel communication for automatic gain control is fed back into the DYNA4 camera models.
- CANoe bus simulation serves the ECU's bus interfaces via Vector network interfaces.
- Closed-loop control function testing: Vehicle control commands from the ECU are fed back into the DYNA4 virtual vehicle.
