Perception

From image to position

The camera recognises and LiDAR measures. With camera-LiDAR fusion we detect in low light, at distance and on the move. We turn each detection into an object with position, type and track, in vehicles and fixed cameras.

What perception is

Perception is knowing what is around and where. In 2D, a neural network recognises cars, people or containers in the image. In 3D, using a LiDAR's point cloud, it places them in space without colour. Fusion joins both and tracking keeps each object's identity across frames.

Why fusion is needed

A camera alone fails in low light, glare or dirty windshields. A LiDAR measures shape and distance, but not colours or road signs. Neither is enough alone, and two sources with shared calibration see together what neither sees alone.

How we do it

01

Synchronise

Cameras and LiDAR share a clock and calibration.

02

Prepare

We clean and prepare each sensor's data before analysing it.

03

Detect

Our own software detects in images and point clouds and combines both.

04

Identify

Each object has a unique ID and is processed on the device itself, in the vehicle or next to the camera.

Questions

Does it work at night and in rain?

Yes, within margins that are checked in each project with real data.

Can it detect something specific to my operation?

Yes. Detection is adapted to the objects or situations that matter to you.

Does video have to be sent to the cloud?

No. Analysis is done on the device itself and data comes out.
