Announcing the agenda for AutoSens this May, meeting at the Michigan Science Center in Detroit. Bringing together leading names in sensor development, the agenda goes deep into the technical specifications of sensors across presentation sessions, panels, roundtables and technical tutorials. Immerse yourself in the discussion, as we explore the latest research and development from experts at the cutting edge of the industry.
We’ll be joined by Dr. Eiichi Funatsu, Senior Director CTO Office at OMNIVISION to discuss non-RGB colour filter options, and Sergey Velichko, Senior Manager at onsemi will share more about advanced features in High Dynamic Range image sensors. Plus Charles Kingston, Application Development Principal Engineer, ST Microelectronics will explore the key sensor specifications to generate the expected user experience in driver monitoring.
Technical developments and research in LiDAR and RADAR is a key focus, including sessions on design for manufacturing considerations, RADAR simulation, selecting the right enabling technology and RADAR digital signal processing. We’ll hear from companies up and down the supply chain including Valeo, Synopsys, Xilinx and Baraja, with the opportunity to meet and ask questions to the speakers.
Further keynotes include an exploration of how to achieve full autonomy with Shane McGuire, System Architect at Cruise, a review of challenges in developing exterior cameras with Boyd Fowler, CTO at OMNIVISION and a look at expectations for ISO 26262 and SOTIF for sensor suppliers with Mark Costin, Distinguished Functional Safety Engineer at NVIDIA.
What else can you expect at the conference?
Key questions will be addressed via four panel discussions, with topics ranging from what the future supply chain will look like to whether standardizing OS is a loss of individuality, and how soon LiDAR equipped vehicles will be on our roads. Panellists across these discussions will represent North American Lighting, Strategy Analytics, MOBIS, indie Semiconductor and General Motors.
New topics for 2022 include a look at effective sensor cleaning and coatings for LiDAR and cameras, which will enhance safety and performance in ADAS, in addition to exploring a motion-first approach to perception.
Other questions that the agenda will seek to provide answers to include:
- How can efficient, low-latency and high-accuracy inference be performed in ADAS?
- How can we make embedded artificial intelligence functionally safe?
- What sensing and On-Device AI are required for the automotive of the future?
Technical Tutorials
Full pass holders can choose to attend two of four technical tutorials on 10th May. Confirmed tutorials include a LiDAR tutorial led by esteemed expert Dr. Paul McManamon, which will take you through the various LiDAR technology types, their design and build, their market status, and the technical considerations for using LiDAR in automotive, Plus, a look at Self-Driving Cars Scene Perception Under “Uncontrolled-Unseen” Environments with Dr. Sos Agaian, Distinguished Professor, Director, Computational Vision and Learning Lab, Computer Science Department, College of Staten Island, CUNY. We’ll also explore functional safety topics such as how to design fail-operational, hard real-time systems with representatives from TTTech and Retrospect. Miriam Schiffermann of Image Engineering will lead the final tutorial on image quality and camera calibration.
What are people saying about attending AutoSens this year?
AutoSens is my favorite conference. I mean engineers run it! I’ve been presenting, going, exhibiting, etc. since the first one! Going to be great to actually go to a conference again.
Tony Gioutsos, Director Portfolio Development Autonomous Americas at Siemens
One of the things I’m most looking forward to about speaking at AutoSens is being at an actual, in-person, conference with a physical audience… there is nothing like the dynamic of interaction between large numbers of smart people that you get at technical conferences. So many interesting questions and challenging discussions that are totally unexpected.
Harvey Weinberg, Director of Sensor Technologies, Microtech Ventures
It will be great to have face-to-face meetings again, this is something that all of us have missed a lot during the past two years. I consider AutoSens to be an excellent venue to listen to latest innovations.
Markus Willems, Senior Product Manager at Synopsys
