Camera Perception Development Kit (CPDK)

Camera Perception Development Kit (CPDK)

… accelerating automotive Camera sensor integration

For automated driving functions, 360° sensor coverage and central data fusion becomes inevitable. We offer a modular, off-the-shelf plug-and-play solution for your development activities. A set of different hardware and software modules fit the kit for your specific application.

What is the CDPK?

CPDK is a scalable perception development kit based on centralized architecture using CONTINENTAL automotive sensors.
  • Designed for fast ramp-up of a fused CAMERA-based environment model
  • Plug-and-play sensor data integration into a development framework using a C++ API
  • Low level data access to sensor signals
  • Includes visualization of sensor data for fast commissioning and integration
  • > Preferred solution for diversification market to evaluate CONTINENTAL sensors
