FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
AutonoSys
Announces Latest Model Of Lidar Video Camera
New
Camera Captures Larger 3D Images At Even Higher Speed.
Lidar,
the light equivalent of radar, uses light to measure ranges to objects.
The basic principle has been known for some time, and systems measuring
approximately 10,000 ranges/second in a line-scan are commonly available.
What sets the AutonoSys lidar video cameras apart is their ability to
measure ranges 50 times faster, at 500,000 ranges/second.
With this amount of data per second, it becomes possible to produce a
full 3D image of a scene at video rates of 5-10 frames a second. AutonoSys'
new LVC0702 camera has an expanded 45°
x 90°
field of view. In its highest speed mode, this full field of view is scanned
with 72 x 480 pixel resolution, updated at 10 frames/second.
The high-resolution mode offers 288 x 960 pixel resolution, updated at
1.25 frames/second. In both modes, range to every pixel in the frame is measured
to an accuracy of a few mm. Since
the lidar uses its own internal light source to illuminate the scene, the new
cameras operate equally well day or night.
Field of view, resolution and frame rate can all be readily customized to
meet the needs of particular applications. Announcing
this latest product in our line of the world's first lidar video cameras, Dr.
Jim O’Neill, CEO of AutonoSys said, “This Lidar video camera offers even
more capability than our first camera, the LVC0601, and significantly more than
any other commercially available 3D scanning systems. Our customers include major Key applications for this product include dynamic surveying and 3D mapping in urban and hostile environments, high resolution road surface mapping, obstacle and terrain sensing for autonomous ground vehicles, digitization of scenes for computer animation studios, improved recognition of threats in security monitoring systems, and any other application where fast capture of 3D data is required. Autonosys has integrated its patented optical scanning mechanism and custom electronics with a rangefinder developed by Z+F GmBh, a manufacturer with more 20 years experience, to give customers the best combination of leading edge capability and proven reliability.
