An Ideal Architecture For Always-On Camera Subsystems

By Expedera - 23 Aug, 2023 - Comments: 0

Always-sensing camera implementations offer a wealth of user experience advantages but face significant power, latency, and privacy concerns if not done right. To be successful, always-sensing camera subsystems must be architected to preserve battery life and to ensure privacy and security while delivering key user experience improvements. In a joint white paper with Rambus, Expedera discuss... » read more

This new technical paper titled "Road Infrastructure Challenges Faced by Automated Driving: A Review" was published by researchers at Graz University of Technology (Austria), University of Zagreb (Croatia), AKKA I&S (France). Abstract "Automated driving can no longer be referred to as hype or science fiction but rather a technology that has been gradually introduced to the market. The recen... » read more

Verify Perception Systems Virtually Via Accurate Fog Models

By Ansys - 18 Jul, 2022 - Comments: 0

Under every lighting level and weather condition, cameras must reliably “see” pedestrians and other physical objects ― and trigger an appropriate reaction from critical systems such as braking. This is especially challenging in foggy conditions, which can confuse visual cameras, radar, lidar and other conventional sensor technologies. Thermal imaging represents a potential solution, helpi... » read more

Data Association Between Perception and V2V Communication Sensors

By Technical Paper Link - 07 Feb, 2022 - Comments: 0

Abstract: "The connectivity between vehicles, infrastructure, and other traffic participants brings a new dimension to automotive safety applications. Soon all the newly produced cars will have Vehicle to Everything (V2X) communication modems alongside the existing Advanced Driver Assistant Systems (ADAS). It is essential to identify the different sensor measurements for the same targets (... » read more

Multi-View Fusion of Sensor Data for Improved Perception and Prediction in Autonomous Driving

By Technical Paper Link - 11 Jan, 2022 - Comments: 0

Abstract "We present an end-to-end method for object detection and trajectory prediction utilizing multi-view representations of LiDAR returns. Our method builds on a state-of-the-art Bird's-Eye View (BEV) network that fuses voxelized features from a sequence of historical LiDAR data as well as rasterized high-definition map to perform detection and prediction tasks. We extend the BEV network ... » read more

Choose The Right Sensors For Autonomous Vehicles

By Kara Gremillion - 09 Dec, 2021 - Comments: 0

When the world’s first “motorwagen” was introduced in 1885, the notion that a car would one day drive itself was laughable. Today, assisted and autonomous vehicles are the reality of an age where digital sensors can outperform human ability to perceive motion, distance, and speed. When used together, sensor technologies including camera, lidar, radar, and ultrasonic give vehicles one... » read more

Chip scanning Researchers at the University of Southern California and the Paul Scherer Institut in Switzerland developed an x-ray technique to non-destructively scan chips to make sure they conform to specifications. Such a system could be used to identify manufacturing defects or malicious alterations, the team said. Called ptychographic x-ray laminography, the technique utilizes x-rays f... » read more

System Bits: Feb. 11
