Santa Clara, Calif. – January 6, 2026 – In a significant move for the automotive imaging industry, OmniVision Technologies, Inc., a leading global developer of semiconductor solutions, today announced that two of its cutting-edge TheiaCel® technology CMOS image sensors are now supported by the newly launched NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Hyperion platform. This integration marks a pivotal step in providing automakers and developers with a high-performance, reliable vision foundation for L4 autonomous driving systems.
The announcement coincided with NVIDIA's unveiling of the DRIVE AGX Hyperion platform at CES 2026. Designed as a reference architecture for "AI-defined vehicles," the platform meets stringent functional safety (ISO 26262) and cybersecurity (ISO 21434) standards. OmniVision's sensors, the 8-megapixel OX08D10 and the 3-megapixel OX03H10, are now part of this comprehensive hardware and software ecosystem.
TheiaCel® Technology: Solving Critical Automotive Vision Challenges
The core of this collaboration lies in OmniVision's proprietary TheiaCel® technology, which directly addresses two of the most persistent challenges in automotive camera modules: high dynamic range (HDR) and LED flicker mitigation (LFM).
OX08D10 (8MP, 2.1µm): Designed as the premier solution for exterior ADAS and autonomous driving cameras, this sensor combines next-generation Lateral Overflow Integration Capacitor (LOFIC) with OmniVision's DCG™ HDR technology. It captures pristine HDR images with an industry-leading dynamic range, enabling reliable object detection at distances up to 200 meters. Crucially, it captures traffic signs and vehicle LEDs without the "flicker" artifacts common with pulsed LED light sources, ensuring accuracy in all lighting conditions.
OX03H10 (3MP, 3.0µm): Engineered for next-generation parking and surround-view systems, this Split-Pixel sensor achieves an exceptional 140 dB dynamic range in a single exposure. Its outstanding low-light performance and superior LFM capability provide unparalleled visual clarity for close-range maneuvers and automated parking in challenging light and shadow conditions.
Accelerating Development from Concept to Production
Dr. Peng Wu, OmniVision's Global Automotive Marketing Director, emphasized the strategic value: "The integration of our TheiaCel® sensors with the NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Hyperion platform is a major leap forward. It provides developers with a critical tool to accelerate the design and deployment of autonomous systems, moving innovation from concept to commercial reality with guaranteed safety and image fidelity."
The supported sensors are also compatible with the more powerful NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Thor platform, which is based on the Blackwell GPU architecture. This ensures a scalable path for developers from advanced driving assistance to full autonomous functionality.
Industry Impact and Availability
This partnership significantly de-risks and speeds up the development cycle for automotive OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers. By offering a pre-validated, high-performance imaging solution within a top-tier autonomous driving platform, it reduces integration complexity and accelerates time-to-market for next-generation vehicles.
Both the OX08D10 and OX03H10 image sensors are now available for sampling and order. For more information, developers and automakers are encouraged to contact OmniVision sales representatives.
