ArcSoft Shines at 2025 Qualcomm Automotive Tech Summit: Launching Visual-AI Across Cabin & Driving

 At the 2025 Qualcomm Automotive Technology & Cooperation Summit in Suzhou, ArcSoft showcased its full-stack visual-AI solutions on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon automotive platforms. The highlight? An integrated capability across intelligent cabin sensing, seamless parking assistance, and advanced driving support.

Cabin–Parking Integrated Perception Powered by Qualcomm Smart Cabin Platforms

ArcSoft has successfully achieved large-scale deployment on Qualcomm’s leading smart cabin platforms (such as SA8155P and SA8295P), delivering high-precision driver and occupant monitoring (DMS and OMS). The system accurately detects key behaviors — such as fatigue, distraction, yawning, and gaze deviation — as well as seat occupancy, passenger posture, and attention levels. It remains highly reliable even under challenging conditions including low light, glare, and partial occlusion, fully meeting Euro NCAP 2025 and GSR II safety requirements. These capabilities help OEMs enhance in-cabin safety, comfort, and regulatory compliance.

Building on the cabin platform’s compute headroom, high-bandwidth camera channels, and synchronized multi-camera support, ArcSoft has further extended its capabilities to include parking assistance. By integrating AVM (Around View Monitoring) and APA (Automatic Parking Assist), the solution supports a wide range of parking scenarios — including vertical, parallel, angled, and mechanical parking — offering accurate space detection and dynamic path planning.

This Cabin–Parking unified architecture addresses growing OEM demand for cross-domain perception and enables a more seamless user experience with minimal platform changes. It also lays the technical foundation for future convergence with driving assistance systems — paving the way for cost-efficient, scalable evolution toward cabin-driving fusion architectures.

End-to-End Assist: Full-Scope Driving & Parking Capabilities

Targeting both highway and urban driving, ArcSoft tapped Qualcomm’s mid/high-end Compute platforms (Snapdragon Ride SA8620P/SA8650P and Fusion platform SA8775P) to build a 7/11 camera architecture with real-time, always-on perception.

  • Active Safety: Equipped with AEB (emergency braking) and AES (emergency steering).
  • Highway Driving: Includes HWA (Highway Assist), smart navigation-guided lane changes, overtaking, and ramp merging/exiting.
  • Urban Driving: Handles full-speed ACC+ISA, LCC, traffic-light stop-and-go, steering-assisted lane changes, and even urban memory driving.
  • Smart Parking: Offers APA, RPA (remote parking), multi-level HPA, and custom spot parking.
  • Safety Strategies: Integrates with DMS to disable advanced assistance if fatigue or distraction is detected.

Through low-latency multi-camera processing and precise semantic mapping, plus efficient Snapdragon Ride heterogeneous compute scheduling, ArcSoft delivers a scalable, low-power, high-performance solution. Validated on multiple OEM platforms, it’s ready for mass deployment and future feature improvements.

ArcSoft × Qualcomm: A “Chip–Vision” Collaboration

Visual-AI has emerged as a core pillar in smart automotive systems, but engineering high-performance perception in vehicles demands deep synergy between algorithm and compute platform. With over 20 years of collaboration — spanning from mobile imaging to vehicle-grade perception — ArcSoft and Qualcomm have co-optimized algorithms across CPU, GPU, DSP, and NPU to deliver production-ready visual perception featuring low power, high frame rate, and strong robustness.

ArcSoft’s current solutions are deployed in numerous production vehicles across China, Europe, and beyond. Preparing for next-gen centralized architectures, ArcSoft is collaborating on Snapdragon Ride Flex (SA8775P) and is closely tracking future platforms like Snapdragon Cockpit Elite (SA8397) and Ride Elite (SA8797), prepping for multi-modal fusion, central perception, and large-model inference.

Looking ahead, as the industry embraces centralized compute and AI-powered systems, ArcSoft will continue to lead in visual-AI algorithms, software platforms, and real-world deployment — partnering with Qualcomm and automakers to build a smarter, safer, more reliable visual-ai hub in every vehicle.

Enhancing Parked Vehicle Security with ArcSoft Sentry Mode: A Vision AI Solution for Automotive Safety

Image
In the era of intelligent mobility, vehicle safety is no longer limited to on-road scenarios. As drivers increasingly seek comprehensive protection for their vehicles — even when parked — the need for smart, vision-based perimeter security has become evident. This is where Sentry Mode enters the conversation, offering vehicles a way to remain vigilant, even when the engine is off. ArcSoft, a global leader in embedded computer vision and AI, has introduced a highly efficient, production-ready Sentry Mode solution that leverages existing automotive hardware to deliver advanced parked vehicle monitoring and threat detection. What Is Sentry Mode — And Why Does It Matter? Sentry Mode is an intelligent security feature designed to detect and respond to potentially harmful activities around a stationary vehicle. It can utilizes visual data from around-view (AVM) cameras and runs on the vehicle’s standard IVI SoC (In-Vehicle Infotainment System-on-Chip) — eliminating the need for additional se...

ArcSoft's Visual AI Unlocks Edge-Optimized Gaze Tracking for Automotive OEMs

Image
  As the automotive industry accelerates toward intelligent, software-defined vehicles, human-centric interaction becomes the core of the in-cabin experience. Among emerging technologies, gaze tracking and eye monitoring are proving to be foundational—not just as sensors, but as essential enablers of safety, personalization, and seamless interaction. Why Gaze Tracking Matters More Than Ever A Critical Layer of Driving Safety Eye tracking goes beyond simply detecting where the driver is looking. It helps identify micro-behaviors—like fatigue, distraction, drowsiness, or microsleeps—and plays a critical role in Driver Monitoring Systems (DMS). It’s rapidly becoming essential for meeting global safety regulations such as EU GSR and NCAP standards. The Core of Multimodal Interaction As vehicle interiors become buttonless and screen-heavy, what the driver is looking at becomes a new input. By combining gaze with voice or gesture com...

Smart Cars, Smarter Vision: Navigating the AI-Driven Future of Mobility

Image
In recent weeks, the intelligent vehicle industry has once again taken center stage. From Tesla's real-world Robotaxi launch in Austin, to BMW and Mercedes-Benz accelerating deployments of Level 2+ and Level 3 systems across Europe and China, it's clear: software-defined vehicles are no longer a vision—they're the present . Under the hood of these smart cars lies an even more critical driver: Vision AI . As visual perception becomes the central pillar of smart driving—both for cockpit safety and environmental understanding— ArcSoft is enabling OEMs and Tier-1s to move faster and smarter across two key dimensions: 1. Smart Cockpit: From Passive Interfaces to Active Intelligence The cockpit is transforming from a screen-based experience into a real-time, perceptual system that understands who’s inside, what they’re doing, and how safe they are.
