A new online test and debug methodology for automotive camera image processing system

Since the automotive camera image processing system is highly related to the people's lives, the online test and debug method for the system is required to monitor the system in real-time and increase the reliability. However, there are errors and faults which escaped from the pre-silicon verification and the manufacturing test and they cause the test and debug time longer. Because the excessive time overhead has a bad influence upon the reliability, it is necessary to reduce the time overhead. To overcome this challenge, a new online test and debug methodology for the automotive camera image processing system is proposed in this paper. Experimental results show how the proposed methodology can reduce the time overhead significantly on various cases compared to the previous work.
