Mali-C720AE is the first Arm ISP combining functional safety with Highly Configurable ISP The highly configurable and scalable design of Mali-C720AE allows our automotive partners to balance PPA and functional safety and image processing capabilities across a variety of configurations. Dual Computer Vision (CV) and Human Vision (HV) Pipeline The Mali-C720AE dual CV and HV pipeline saves latency, while providing area and efficiency improvements in the processing of workloads with the same raw data inputs and different image quality requirements. Innovative Differentiable ISP Model The differentiable ISP model of Mali-C720AE improves perception performance and accelerates the time to market for our partners through automated image quality tuning, driven by objective perception metrics. configurability and designed for imaging applications in a software-defined vehicle (SDV). A dual pipeline architecture reduces latency for the most demanding computer vision applications without compromising outstanding image quality for human viewing. Accompanied by a suite of tools, including a novel differentiable ISP model, Mali-C720AE enables a cost-efficient hardware/software co-development, image quality tuning, and accelerated time to market. This is our most performant, most flexible, and most efficient ISP ever.

The differentiable ISP model is designed to integrate in a partner perception engine training framework to automatically tune ISP maximizing perception performance. The model is available as a standalone software product that does not require an RTL license to provide access to broader ecosystem. Accelerated ISP Model A GPU-accelerated ISP model provides bit-exact software implementation of the Mali-C720AE pipeline, enabling early software development and image quality tuning before silicon is available. This model is also available as a standalone product that does not require an RTL license....
