SANTA CLARA, CA, Jan 7, 2026 – OMNIVISION said its 8-megapixel (MP) resolution OX08D10 and 3-MP resolution OX03H10 CMOS image sensors run on NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Hyperion, enabling direct integration into NVIDIA-based autonomous vehicle camera systems.

NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Hyperion launched at CES 2026, NVIDIA said. The platform focuses on functional safety and cybersecurity for autonomous vehicle development. It serves as a reference compute and sensor architecture for automakers and developers. NVIDIA said the platform supports Level 4 autonomous driving, where the vehicle operates without human input in specific conditions.

“OMNIVISION’s product integration with the NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Hyperion represents a substantial leap in enabling developers and customers to accelerate the design and deployment of autonomous driving systems,” said Dr. Paul Wu, global director of automotive product marketing at OMNIVISION. “With our flagship image sensors that feature TheiaCel HDR technology, we’re giving developers the tools to push autonomous vehicle innovation from concept to commercial readiness – while maintaining uncompromising safety functions and image fidelity across real-world driving scenarios.”

OMNIVISION’s OX08D10 introduces its 2.1-micron (µm) TheiaCel technology, combining lateral overflow integration capacitors (LOFIC) and DCG high dynamic range (HDR) technology in a single image sensor. This approach allows capture of LED lights without flicker in driving environments. The sensor supports HDR imaging with detection ranges up to 200 meters. Its pixel design and HDR capture scheme balances low-light performance and dynamic range for automotive exterior camera systems.

OMNIVISION designed the OX03H10 as a 3-MP automotive viewing sensor with 3.0 µm split pixels and TheiaCel technology. The sensor uses a single exposure to deliver a 140-dB dynamic range and shows LED flicker mitigation (LFM). Targeted at parking cameras, the OX03H10 provides low-light performance for vehicles and improves visibility during driving.

The NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Thor Platform supports both OMNIVISION image sensors and targets automotive-grade compute and sensing. The platform utilizes NVIDIA Blackwell GPU architecture, Arm Neoverse V3AE CPUs, and the NVIDIA DriveOS 7 software stack. This integration helps developers move autonomous driving systems from research to production by streamlining design, testing, and deployment.

NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Thor delivers the I/O bandwidth needed for cameras, radar, and lidar, and supports GbE/10GbE, and PCI Express vehicle interfaces for AV solutions. The platform is automotive grade and complies with functional safety (ISO 26262) and cybersecurity requirements (ISO 21434).

“OMNIVISION’s TheiaCel sensors offer excellent performance, and we are proud to be as a partner in the NVIDIA development platform,” said Wu.
