`
`TECHNICAL PROPOSAL
`
`EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
`
`3D Visual Map Based Car Navigation System (CNS) Development is a joint
`project between a Korean company, Daewoo Precision industries Co., Ltd.
`
`(hereafter DPI) and an Israel company, 3DVU, Ltd. (hereafter 3DVU) under the
`
`KORIL-RDF grant. The purpose of this project is to jointly develop the most
`
`realistic car navigation system.
`
`The core technologies are;
`
`1) Aerial photographs orland satellite imageries which would be able to be
`
`stored and formatted to stream down to the car navigation systems graphic
`
`display module with limited computing performances and memories while
`
`maintaining the original image quality and;
`
`2) A new 3D car navigation hardware platform which would be designed and
`
`optimized to display a realistic three-dimensional graphics and physical
`
`storage (DVD—ROM or HDD) for multi GB of satellite imageries or/and aerial
`
`photographs. 3D Visual Map solution utilizes aerial photographs or high
`
`resolution satellite images and conventional vector map database with all
`
`attributes to produce a realistic three-dimensional car navigation system
`
`Obie-ctives
`
`The objectives of this joint development is to develop a new generation CNS with
`
`the most advanced rea|—time three-dimensional display feature utilizing aerial
`
`photographs or satellite imageries.
`
`The ultimate goal of a Car Navigation System has been considered to be a
`
`system that can be installed in a vehicle and is aimed at helping the driver of a
`
`vehicle by giving him/her directions to the desired destinations. However,
`
`customers deserve more beyond the original functions of Car Navigation
`
`Systems. Customers deserve more realistic map display with fancier graphic
`interfaces.

`
`
`
`In conventional car navigation systems, the map nonnally consists of line
`segments (links), points (nodes), polygons, texts, symbols, and icons to
`represent the world. However, such simplified vector map graphics are often too
`simple to draw the real world, which is in a complex series of various land cover
`types and shapes. However, high resolution satellite imageries or aerial
`photographs show the world as it is with all the shapes, colors and textures
`enabling the driver “landmark navigation." Simply, satellite imageries or aerial
`photographs provide much more information to the drivers.
`
`Displaying high resolution satellite images or aerial photographs in its full
`resolution used to require workstations with high CPU performances and
`memories with specialized visualization software. Therefore, it has been
`
`regarded to visualize the high resolution satellite images or aerial photographs in
`Car Navigation Systems since most embedded digital devices nonnally utilize
`very limited CPU performances and memories compared to PCs or workstations.
`
`However, 3DVU successfully developed and commercialized a visualization
`
`solution to display a massive 24-bit full color raster images without diminishing
`the original image quality with an embedded device of very limited CPU
`performances and memories.
`
`To achieve the goal of this project, 3DVU and DPI are ideal strategic partners in
`terms of technological and marketing capabilities.
`
`Daewoo Precision Industries is the first company developed and commercialized
`
`car navigation systems in Korea. DPI has also set important milestones in
`
`Korean Car Navigation history. For instance, DPi is the first company developed
`and commercialized the 122,500 scale detailed town map, DVD-ROM based full
`
`3-D CNS with real building textures and shapes, and the English car navigation
`
`system.
`
`Throughout?’ years of experience in the business, DPI has a full capability of
`
`digital mapping and GIS engineering, application software development, graphic
`controls, data conversion, hardware design and manufacturing, porting and
`testing, and graphic interface designs. Both 3DVU and DPI have thoroughly
`
`reviewed each other’s technological capabilities and came up with a full
`
`confidence to develop another milestone product satisfying the progressive
`
`customers’ needs in automotive industries. DPI is committed to become the
`
`world leader in car navigation system manufacturer by providing the most
`
`advanced products and services to the global market.

`
`Commercial Value
`
`Since DPI first developed and commercialized the Car Navigation Systems in
`1997, DPI has shown steady sales records. In year 2002, DPI sold more than
`20,000 units. Approximately 60% of sales were generated by automotive
`manufacturing customers for O.E.M uses each year. In other words, more than
`12,000 units are demanded by automotive industries for O.E.M. uses.
`
`Ssangyong Motor Company, one of the major OEM customers, produces luxury
`passenger cars (Chainnan), luxury SUVs (Rexton and Korando), and luxury
`minivans (Rodius). Ssangyong Motor Company is committed to be the market
`leader in the high—end luxury vehicle segment in Korea rather than producing
`economic cars. Thanks to its unique high-end luxury policy, Ssangyong Motor
`Company deserves the most advanced and unparalleled Car Navigation
`Systems differentiating from the competitors withstanding the higher costs.
`
`Due to the reason above, DPI is prospecting this particular project as a precious
`opportunity to develop the most advanced high-end Car Navigation System
`product exceeding Ssangyong Motor C0mpany’s high-end standards if this
`
`project is funded and completed successfully. It would be reasonable to say that
`the Ssangyong Motor Company alone demands over 10,000 units each year at
`$1,000 per unit. In other words, revenue of 10 Million U.S. Dollars can be
`
`generated each year from a single O.E.M customer. DPI is also prospecting GM-
`Daewoo Auto & Technology's positive evaluation on the 3D V"1sua| Map Based
`Car Navigation System for their new high-end luxury passenger car to be
`unveiled shortly.

`
`sales of portable navigation in Korea is around 50,000 -- 80,000 units per year.
`
`The result of this cooperation can be also applied to some modifications.

`system, having its own digital map and POI (point of interest) databases, full
`
`capabilities of hardware design and mass production, and car navigation
`
`application software engineering in Korea.
`
`3DVU is the advanced research development and integration center for 3DVU.
`
`3DVU (registered in October 2000) has created the most efficient large, high-
`
`resolution color image streaming technology with full 3D maneuver capabilities
`

`
`3D maneuverability for digital navigation systems. The company's strategic
`
`partners include car navigation makers, mapping data and point of interest
`
`providers, aerial and satellite imagery sensing entities.
`
`The relationship of the two companies started through the introduction of each
`
`other through KORIL-RDF's program. With 3DVU's patented imagery
`
`technologies and experience and expertise in the field of GIS and remote
`
`sensing, two key components in this innovation, the two companies found
`
`synergy in coming together to combine efforts to create a complete and
`
`innovative solution for the car navigation market. 3DVU's successful reviews on
`
`Daewoo Precision’s software development and hardware development
`
`capabilities
`
`Korea ranked No.6 in automobile manufacturing worldwide and has a fast
`
`growing market in the automotive industry. The need of the sophisticated car
`
`navigation system is growing quickly so It will be easy to dominate the market if
`
`we benefit from the synergy combining the 3DVU and DP|'s technologies in the
`
`car navigation system.

`
`THE INNOVATION
`
`Current Practice
`
`Since CNS was first introduced to the Korean market in late 1990’s, CD-ROM
`drive was used as the map storage device; consequently a very compact map
`storage format was required due to the slow access speed of CD-ROM. Although
`DVD-ROM drive was introduced in the late model Car Navigation Systems with a
`higher data access speed, the data access speed is not always sufficient for a
`high speed display. Moreover, since Car Navigation Systems commonly utilizes
`processor chipsets, memories, and operating systems of very limited
`performances, the data had to be simplified to meet the reasonable level of
`
`performance.
`
`As mentioned above, a complex vector dataset heavy in size could diminish the
`high speed display performances. Not to mention, a raster data in higher data
`size due to high pixel dimensions requires more rapid data access speed and
`higher CPU power and memories to display. For high resolution satellite images
`or aerial photographs that are in gigabytes of pixel dimensions, it has been
`
`regarded impossible to display in the embedded system with limited hardware
`
`and software performances. Image compression was considered to be the only
`method to display huge raster images until 3DVU has developed its unique
`Packet Data Streaming technology. However, compression requires a high
`computing power to compress and decompress the image. For instance, a
`compression engine compresses a raster image of 10 gigabytes with 1:20
`
`compression ratio to 500 megabytes, a real time display of the 500-megabyte
`image in an embedded device with limited computing performances is still
`
`impossible. Thus, no one has ever developed a Car Navigation System without
`
`3DVU‘s Packet Data Streaming technology.

`
`
`
`Moreover, in the navigation software structure, there are so many processes to
`meet function requirements like map display, route calculation, route guidance,
`map matching and information search simultaneously. Therefore, the computing
`power and memories cannot be allocated for certain function like map display,
`but should be allocated to run all required processes.
`
`Until now, the only successfully commercialized car navigation system using
`aerial photographs is from Denso and Kenwood in Japan. So called, 4th
`
`generation car navigation system enables the driver to feel more realistic senses
`
`(about the terrain). 3DVU was implemented already in CNS in Japan. The
`
`figures below show that the actual screen of the HDV-910 (the highest grade
`
`model from Kenwood).

`
`
`
`3DVU provides 3D Visual Map“ patented “Packet Data Streaming" technoiogy
`to replace static mapping with real high definition imagery (satellite/aerial) for all
`devices, including PCs, PDAs, In-Car Navigation Systems and mobile handsets,
`providing an interactive ability for people to view visual maps with motion (like a
`bird flying) and change the face of mapping. All is accessible over narrowband
`
`communication with extremely thin client viewer, as a software only solution with
`no hardware support, including DirectX, DireotDraw or OpenGL support.
`
`To make a supplementation in developing high speed and big size display
`performance DP! will change map storage from CD drive to DVD drive or HDD.
`
`Because of different user environment of DVD or HDD in office computers, DVD
`and HDD should guarantee the automotive environment
`like very high/low
`temperature condition(-30 degrees -- 80 degrees in Celsius) and many types of
`vibration condition. That will be also another barrier for a new development.
`
`Concept of the Innovation
`
`3DVU‘s competitive edge is it's technical and market advantages. Multiple
`Patents and high technical barriers to entry protect 3DVU's Intellectual Property.
`
`The following is what sets 3DVU apart.
`
`0 3DVU’s technology is based on proprietary Packet Data Streaming (PDS)
`Technology, overcoming limitations posed by compression. 3DVU can
`
`stream unlimited image sizes in terms of area of coverage, pixel count and
`
`color depth.
`
`0 3DVU Visual Map can be streamed for instant view over Narrowband
`
`Communication. 3DVU agnostic to the communication medium (wire and
`
`wireless.) as well as method (Cellular, Wi—Fi, Bluetooth, etc.).
`
`0 The streamed image can be displayed simultaneously on multiple digital
`devices. Even devices with limited computing power, in terms on processing
`
`10
`
`power and memory, can display 3DVU visual map.

`3DVU visual map provides 3D perspective display and 3D maneuverability over
`the image. 3DVU is a software only solution that can be easily ported to a variety
`of devices and operating systems.

`
`PROPOSED R&D PROGRAM
`
`Analysis of Problem
`
`Current customer requirements of the future CNS is not only accuracy for the
`digital map but also actual feeling of the digital map. To assure the correct
`
`guidance for the driving direction, digital map should supply image visualization
`like aerialfsatellite photograph.
`
`Although image visualization has benefited its customers, control of that images
`is highly limited by following reasons.
`
`High—reso|ution imageries, although information is rich, poses great challenge
`when it comes to making the same available to the user. The reason is the large
`data size. For example 24-bit color IKONOS satellite imagery for an area of 10
`Km. X 10 Km at ‘lmeter per pixel resolution would have a size of 300 MB. A
`
`larger area or an aerial imagery at 25cm/pixel resolution or higher will have
`
`larger image size accordingly. Further imagery with higher infonnation content,
`
`such as, number of bands, the bits used to represent each image pixel, the
`image format used to store image etc. would increase the size of the image for
`given area. The size of the images archives is growing at a fast rate and the
`
`concerned agencies are challenged with the storage problems leave aside the
`
`processing of such data.
`
`At current status, there are some reasons not to use digital images in the CNS.
`
`0 Requirement of digital image related knowledge.
`
`0 Huge data size of high resolution digital images and long processing time for
`
`digital image database.
`
`0 Requirement of high speed computing;
`
`Generally speaking, the digital image visualization has been considered to be
`
`not suitable for the car navigation system.
`
`Progosed Approach
`
`3DVU vision is to change the face of mapping from vector lines and color shades
`
`to real imagery — satellite or aerial imagery. 3DVU believes that the Image is the
`Map and the Map is the Image. 3DVU called its technology — Visual Map”

`<O]d>
`
`-:New>
`
`
`
`3DVU has developed a patented technology to stream unlimited image and
`display it on limited computing devices for better navigation. This is done by
`linking each pixel on the image taken from satellite or aircraft to their geographic
`position. This Geo-Link process makes the image into very accurate digital map,
`where geographic references elements can be placed in their geographic
`position on the image. Such geo—referenced elements can be point of interest
`(POIS), route, etc.

`
`

`
`Above is generic illustration of 3DVU ability to fuse multiple dataset and bring
`them all on the user display.
`
`One of 3DVU key technical capabilities is the ability to deal with unlimited image
`size for streaming and display on very limited computing capabilities digital
`devices such as car navigation systems.
`
`For this, 3DVU developed a technology that converts such unlimited imager to its
`proprietary file format. This process addresses the need to create only once a
`file that is optimized for streaming with multiple resolutions to be display in
`dynamic 3D view on the device.
`
`All images are very large in size. For example, aerial photography covering a
`small area of 10 by 10 Km is approximately 10Gb is size. In comparison a vector
`data for the dame area may require only a few Kb.
`
`In order to handle such large size imagery associated with city wide imagery.
`and in order to accommodate the need of embedded devices where the storage
`space is limited, 3DVU has developed its proprietary compression scheme as
`part of its image compilation process that can reduce the image size by a factor
`of 1:12.

`
`Though the use of the aerial/satellite photos drastically enhanced realism, still
`the image is plain, 2D, and orthphoto. ( Major cross section and neighborhood
`buildings reflects the real data(height?) but not for the terrain)
`
`0 One of the possible solution to deal with the orthphoto is adding a "Visual
`Elevation”. It can increases the realism dramatically.
`
`
`
`From the above photos, we can easily see the terrain look extremely realistic.
`Based on the current hardware performance and capabilities, Application of this
`technology will be feasibie after 2 or 3 years. The full use of the this technology
`will guide us to the 4th generation in-car navigation system and it will definitely

`PART II
`
`BUSINESS PLAN
`
`THE MARKET
`
`An increasing need for digital map service in the present mobile platforms will be
`essential to most mobile devices, such as CNS, PDA and smart phone and
`therefore the development of digital map database will be prerequisite for mobile
`device industry. A tendency can be found in nowadays, is adopt network in
`current car navigation. It is required new media that is writable as well as
`
`readable, to meet this new trend.
`
`A read only CD has been still equipping in-car navigation system since the early
`type of in-car navigation. However, its storage capacity has become insufficient
`to digital map DB of current high end in-car navigation systems, DVD is now
`being adopt as a large storage media of high end products. in addition to the
`need for the storage capacity media, writable media becomes also in need, to
`realize interactive car navigation. The flash based SD memory or micro HDD will
`soon be generally installed in car navigation system.
`
`Forecasts of the trend in the car navigation industry is
`
`0 Move to 2.5D graphic technology from existing 2D graphics, and the display
`eventually evolves to 3D graphics.
`
`0 To make the utmost 3D effects, the aerial/satellite photography will be
`adopted.
`
`0 In the case of Japan, the actual price of high positioned CNS is about US
`$2,000. Although in the near future, the price of CNS will be in a little decline,
`total sales are going up, because the adaptation of CNS will be enlarged to
`even small passenger cars.
`
`Projected tendency of mobile devices in the telecommunication industry is;
`
`I With no or the slightest modification, 3D Visual Map technology can be bring
`into practice to PDA and smart phone.
`
`0 The applications related to 3D display will play a great part, as a killer
`
`solution, in DMB and other mobile internet devices.

`
`in-car navigation market of Japan, is very matured and the biggest market in the
`world. In-car navigation system sales 2001-2010 chart shows the annual
`
`production of in-car navigation system in Japan is more than 2,500,000 sets.
`About 50% of the production is O.E.M parts for Japanese car manufactures, and
`the remains are the aftermarket products. Obviously, Japanese manufacturers of
`in-car navigation system have been producing their products with the highest
`level of technology.
`

`
`Different from the car navigation market in Japan, European Manufactures have
`
`been specialized in aftermarket products. The annual production in Europe in
`2004, is about 1,600,000 sets. As shown as above chart, Europe will increase to
`the largest market in 2008.

`
`The chart shown above is adoption growing in US in 2004. Factory equipped
`(OE) car navigation systems are gaining more and more preference than the
`aftermarket car navigation systems. And they are becoming nearly one of
`standard equipment in the new car.
`
`As show as above chart, adoption rate in luxury passenger car is at the highest.
`SUV shows a high adoption rate as well.
`
`Besides the market of PDA based car navigation is also growing as aftermarket
`equipments. This is the common trend around world, only except for Japan.

`0 An increase in sales will be realized by applying the new technology, widely
`being used now, to car navigation systems for aftermarket and PDA.
`
`Proiected Revenues
`
`Although, the retail price of digital electronic appliances is dropping year by year,
`a new high end in-car navigation system with 3D visual map technology will
`prevent the inevitable fall in the price of navigation systems. Thus, not only
`sufficient chances of revenue, but also increase in sales, by applying the
`navigation technology to PDA, seem in prospect.
`
`Projected sales of 3D visual car navigation systems over the next several years
`are same as following table.
