AEye launches mobility products for the autonomous vehicles

News

AEye, a developer of artificial perception systems and the developer of iDAR, announced the AE110, its most advanced product for the automotive mobility market.

Info

Built on the world's most extensive solid-state LiDAR patent portfolio (with over 1000 claims filed), the AE110 features the industry's only software-definable LiDAR, creating an open platform for perception innovation that lets software engineers optimize data collection to best meet their needs.

The AE110 is based on iDAR, a new form of data collection that emulates how the visual cortex pre-processes and customises information sent to the brain. It does this by fusing 1550 nanometre (nm), solid-state agile MOEMS LiDAR, a low-light HD camera, and embedded AI to intelligently capture data at the sensor level.

iDAR integrates 2D camera pixels and 3D LiDAR voxels at the point of data acquisition to create “true color” Dynamic Vixels - a new real-time sensor data type that delivers more accurate, longer range and more intelligent information faster to the car's “brain”, or its path-planning system.

The product has two major architectural advantages: the camera and LiDAR are fused and boresighted, and it's the only LiDAR system that's entirely software-defined. As a result, the AE110 delivers high quality information faster to path planning systems, using significantly less power. Further, its straightforward API and powerful SDK transforms iDAR into a unique open system for perception innovation, allowing perception engineers to easily customize and dynamically control how scenes are interrogated. In addition, the product is under ASIL-B functional safety certification, ensuring it meets the automotive industry's stringent safety standards.

“The AE110 sets a new bar for what perception systems are capable of,” said Aravind Ratnam, VP of product management at AEye. “By using an agile, software-definable LiDAR, the AE110 is able to collect 4-8 times the information of a fixed pattern LiDAR, using an eighth of the points. If a child walks into a scene, we can revisit that image within microseconds to help the vehicle take evasive action. Efficiency, speed and accuracy are key to perception, and the AE110 delivers all three at unprecedented levels at an extremely attractive price point.”

The AE110's unique architecture provides for the highest performance in resolution, range and refresh rate per dollar, while delivering unparalleled power savings. For example, its pseudo-random beam distribution search option makes the system eight times more efficient than fixed pattern LiDARs. The AE110 also achieves 16 times greater coverage of the entire field-of-view at 10 times the frame rate (up to 100 Hz) due to its ability to support multiple regions of interest for both LiDAR and camera.

AEye's iDAR performs multi-modal intelligent search which can then acquire, pre-classify, and track multiple objects quickly. It's also designed to allow the system to pre-classify the objects faster than the frame-rate by allowing for a much more rapid object revisit rate.
