Product overview

TAKUMI’s Warping IP is a highly efficient hardware IP solution for real-time image warping and distortion correction. Built on the proven technology of the GSHARK-TAKUMI Graphics IP family, which has shipped more than 100 million units worldwide, it delivers high-performance image transformation for a wide range of camera and display applications.

Warping IP enables distortion correction for images captured through wide-angle and fisheye lenses in a wide range of camera products and systems. It also supports image transformation for display applications such as automotive Head-Up Displays (HUDs), projectors, and VR devices, delivering highly efficient real-time processing.

Leveraging TAKUMI’s proprietary GPU processing technology, TW330 performs on-the-fly coordinate generation, transformation, and correction in real time, supporting a wide range of applications and customer requirements.

Key advantages
