Insight 1600 is the first LiDAR with the combined high resolution and velocity detection to enable pedestrian gesture recognition: from Autonomous Vehicle technology company Insight LiDAR (www.insightlidar.com).
The new capability can be used by AV perception teams to quickly and accurately predict the actions of pedestrians. Unlike most conventional LiDAR systems, the Insight 1600 offers a more sensitive e technology to assess the environment.
Known as Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave, or FMCW, this advanced LiDAR sensor technology utilizes a low power continuous wave of light instead of high-power laser pulses to sense its environment. Much more sensitive than traditional LiDAR, this allows AVs to see objects much further away.
The Insight 1600 also boasts the industry’s highest resolution, 4-64x better than competitors. This ultra-high resolution, coupled with Insight’s highly sensitive FMCW architecture, detects enough pixels to enable AV software to not only detect, but also identify small, low reflectivity objects at distances exceeding 200 m.
Insight 1600’s Chip-Scale Architecture Drives Low Cost
