Assignee: CONTI TEMIC MICROELECTRONIC GMBH
Field: Audio-visual technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 6:
7. An advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) sensor data method comprising
generating sensor data by a vehicle ADAS sensor,
performing, by a compression unit having an input coupled to an output of the vehicle ADAS sensor, lossy compression on the sensor data to generate lossy compressed sensor data,
receiving and decompressing the lossy-compressed sensor data to generate lossy decompressed sensor data,
processing the lossy decompressed sensor data in order to ascertain information relevant to an ADAS function, and
outputting the ascertained information relevant to the ADAS function,
wherein generating the sensor data and performing lossy compression are performed in a sensor subassembly, and receiving and decompressing the lossy-compressed sensor data, processing the lossy decompressed sensor data and outputting the ascertained information are performed by a processing subassembly having an input coupled to an output of the sensor subassembly and having programmed electronic circuitry, and the sensor subassembly and the processing subassembly are integrated into a single electronics housing.
