Beyond the Visible: Shortwave Infrared Imaging and Ranging in all visibility conditions
Event: AutoSens Brussels
, 2021
Overview of the current technologies used for detecting surroundings in autonomous systems and why they fall short of capabilities necessary for autonomous vehicles.
We will introduce a new and exciting SWIR-based sensor modality which provides HD imaging and ranging information in all conditions (“SEDAR”). How it works, its main benefits, and why it is the future.
We will then show experimental evidence of SEDAR superiority over sensors of other wavelengths. These include recordings in difficult conditions such as nighttime, fog, glare, dust, and more. Also, show depth map field results.
