What It Does:
-
Creates a real-time top-down (aerial) scene using input from multiple synchronized cameras.
-
Executes the stitching and blending using GPU or hardware accelerators.
-
Uses RidgeRun’s Libpanorama and the GstBEV GStreamer plugin to ensure smooth integration into multimedia pipelines.
Key Features:
-
Hardware-Accelerated Processing: Supports platforms with GPU or dedicated IP blocks (e.g., Jetson).
-
Flexible Calibration Tools: RidgeRun provides an intuitive GUI and CLI for spatial calibration of the cameras, enabling high-fidelity stitching.
-
Optimized for Embedded Linux: Perfect for real-time use cases on constrained hardware with minimal overhead.
-
GStreamer Integration: Seamlessly fits into existing video pipelines with RidgeRun’s GstBEV plugin.
-
Configurable Scene Layouts: Adapt the output view to vehicle outlines, scene contours, or application-specific geometry.
Example Use Case:
A large delivery truck equipped with four wide-angle cameras uses RidgeRun’s BEV plugin to create a real-time 360° view around the vehicle. The top-down stitched image is displayed in the cab, helping the driver detect blind spot obstacles during tight maneuvers in urban settings. The same BEV feed is also recorded for incident analysis—all processed on a Jetson Orin NX, using GPU acceleration to maintain low latency.
Ideal For:
-
Automotive ADAS and surround-view monitoring
-
AGVs, drones, and mobile robotics
-
Smart surveillance and command centers

"As a side note: just to let you know, I'm really happy to be working with RidgeRun in general. It's pretty clear that you tell it like you see it, and know what you do and don't know; it's really refreshing. That's super rare on these kinds of technical engagements when everyone seems to either want to claim expertise they don't have, or are so cautious they are don't actually say anything useful"
