The world's first 360° commercial solid-state LiDAR system

AEye detects a single-frame high-density point cloud image from a 150-channel intelligent LiDAR that is 300 meters away and covers 360°. According to Memes Consulting, machine vision pioneer AEye recently announced its first 360° solid-state commercial LiDAR (Lidar) ) Successfully completed the live demo demonstration in the urban area. AEye's high-performance LiDAR system uses a densely arranged 150 vertical channel LiDAR scanner that supports custom scanning of points of interest with an enhanced detection range of up to 300m. AEye is the world's first commercial solid-state LiDAR system to support 360° detection range and real-time software configuration, providing a high-performance, compact and cost-effective advanced vision system for autonomous vehicles to successfully achieve safe road cruising. , with important milestones.

“This important milestone represents a successful leap forward to the next generation of vision systems. This solid-state LiDAR system combines state-of-the-art technology to achieve detection distances, frame rates and resolutions that were not possible with previous products,” AEye Luis Dussan, founder and CEO, commented, “This is only a new starting point for AEye. Our system uses smart sensing technology and software-definable LiDAR (SDL). It can help autonomous vehicles gain world-class awareness, accelerate the innovation of autonomous driving technology, and help OEMs, Tier 1 suppliers and transportation service providers successfully address their toughest perceptions.” AEye's integrated system architecture and advanced The algorithm mimics the process of human "visual cortex" preprocessing and transmitting information to the brain as needed. The system is pre-combined with computer vision and a 1550nm LiDAR system for intelligent data detection, fast sensing and action planning. AEye's software-defined hardware system enables the vehicle's control system software to select and collect the required data in real time, and to selectively pre-process optimized performance and safety, effectively reducing the delay of the control loop. With its unique “visual cortex” architecture, its system can “digest” the information perceived by LiDAR systems more quickly and efficiently, effectively improving system reliability and reducing power consumption and bandwidth of media systems. It is the key to achieving high resolution and low latency sensing solutions. In addition, its unique MEMS-based design enables rapid development and customization, and reduces costs through scale manufacturing. AEye is currently working with large transportation and heavy industry OEMs to test its systems, and is also exhibiting with the shipping service providers and supply chain partners, and plans to carry out phased commercial promotion between 2017 and 2018. About AEye AEye is committed to developing advanced vision system hardware, software and algorithms, just like providing eye and visual cortex for autonomous vehicles. Since the launch of its first solid-state LiDAR scanner in 2013, AEye has continued to break through in smart sensing and sensing technologies. Located in the San Francisco Bay Area, AEye completed a $16 million Series A round of financing in June 2017. Its investors include world-renowned investment companies such as Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, Intel Capital and Airbus Ventures.
