Abstract: A cost-latency balanced method of processing camera image data in an autonomous driving vehicle (ADV) is described. The ADV includes a main compute unit coupled to an FPGA unit and a graphical processing unit (GPU). The method includes receiving, by the main compute unit, a full raw image data and a partial compressed image data from the FPGA unit, the full raw image being raw image data captured by all cameras mounted on the ADV, and the partial compressed image data being compressed from a partial raw image data captured by a subset of the cameras mounted on the ADV. The method further includes transmitting the partial compressed image data to a remote driving operation center; and consuming the full raw image data for environment perception, and the full raw image data is also compressed into a full compressed image data by the GPU for use in offline processing.
