Outsight's Augmented LiDAR Box is a lidar-agnostic plug & play edge computing device.
As lidar sensors for perception become an essential technology for developers of autonomous vehicles, there are dozens of companies working to improve upon the technology, including developers of more reliable solid-state lidar sensors,including those that can identify objects at longer range.However, one of the challenges for developers of autonomous vehicles that use lidar sensors for perception is pre-processing massive amounts of raw lidar sensor data so its can be used along with other perception software. There are also many different lidar sensors on the market from dozens of companies, all with different capabilities and specifications. But French photonics company Outsight has come up with a...
