Dev kit handles 3D perception for ADAS, autonomous vehicle work
Compound Eye announced early access to its VIDAS Development Kit. VIDAS generates dense 3D outputs and per-pixel semantic class across a diverse set of on-road and off-road environments using only scalable, passive sensors like automotive-grade cameras. VIDAS measures accurate depth using automotive-grade cameras, without requiring lidar or radar. VIDAS measures accurate depth without requiring lidar or […]
Improved estimation of automotive radar signal strength
The signal strength of automotive radar can be estimated from the target radar cross section and distance. Greg Lee, Keysight Technologies Sir Robert Watson-Watt is generally credited as radar’s inventor, having developed the first practical system in 1935 and later applying radar to aircraft and weather. We’ve since used radar to monitor everything from ballistic […]
