Data Control Technitic Next Generation LiDAR to
Gauge Velocity of Objects
1888PressRelease - Data Control Technitic has
revealed that its next generation LiDAR products
will be capable of measuring the velocity of
objects. Hong Kong-based LiDAR pioneer, Data
Control Technitic says that its next generation
of LiDAR sensors will be capable of measuring not
only the presence of obstacles but also the speed
at which they are moving. In what is thought to
be the most detailed insight into the LiDAR
aspect of the companys next suite of products,
Data Control Technitics Chief Technology Officer
has revealed that FMCW (Frequency Modulated
Continuous Wave) innovation will replace the
current technology being used in the companys
sensors. Currently, its sensors use laser pulses
to gather information about the surrounding
environment but the company says that the next
evolution will use a continuous beam of light
that is reflected by objects in the same way.
According to the CTO, where the systems differ
however, is that the evolution model will combine
the refracted light and outgoing light and, by
using some rather clever, proprietary software,
will be able to determine the speed of objects
that are in motion including pedestrians. This
is a game-changing development, said Data
Control Technitics Chief Technology Officer.
Its a huge breakthrough for autonomous vehicles
and their usability in urban settings. Combined
with the next generation sensors class-leading
resolution and the video cameras, we are
confident our offering will set a new benchmark
in this field, he continued. Data Control
Technitic says it believes the development means
that autonomous vehicles will be able to operate
more safely while also being less susceptible to
interference from nearby LiDAR sensors in other
vehicles. The company says that it is still on
schedule to launch the sensors to the market in
early 2019. https//datacontroltechnitic.com
