Evaluation of Immersive Audio Technologies on In-Vehicle Infotainment Platforms

In-vehicle infotainment systems are being increasingly influenced by consumer electronics trends due to the customer”s demand for high quality video and audio experience. Availability of high-performing low-power heterogeneous automotive platforms with multiple SoCs enabled complex solutions which increase both passenger's safety and comfort. Although the video and ADAS technologies in cars have improved drastically in the recent years, the automotive audio technologies are still far behind their counterparts in consumer devices. This paper evaluates a standard automotive platform in respect to the resource requirements of current immersive audio technologies. The results show that the chosen automotive platforms has the required MIPS budget and memory space to execute complex audio applications.
