According to foreign media reports, Innovusion has announced that its Cheetah system is available. The company is a global leader in the design and development of innovative hybrid solid-state lidar systems for automotive safety applications. Based on its innovative rotating polygon optical structure, the system combines proprietary detector electronics, advanced optics and sophisticated software algorithms to provide an unrivaled lidar system in terms of range and resolution.
The system has an intelligent architecture, streamlined optical design, and integrated optical path, so it can be quickly produced and integrated into automotive production at a low cost. The lidar system has a detection range of 200 meters for objects with 10% reflectivity and can clearly detect objects up to 280 meters away. It can provide the best and most advanced detection information today, and strive for more response time for cars to determine Best course of action for optimal performance. The system is able to scan the entire field of view vertically and horizontally, thus providing a photo-like image. A particularly dense point cloud refers to an object, so that important objects in the field of view are not missed, thereby maximizing vehicle safety. Due to the excellent image quality provided by the Cheetah Lidar system, its point cloud is particularly suitable for fusion with pixel-level camera data to generate a rich data set, thereby achieving reliable object detection and classification functions. The outstanding performance of the Cheetah Lidar platform is based on the innovative rotating polygon method, unique detector electronics and proprietary algorithms, and is particularly suitable for the safety system architecture of L3 + autonomous vehicles, which is used as the main perception sensor, thereby reducing Demand for a lidar system.
Key specifications of the Cheetah system include a vertical screen resolution of 300, while maintaining a frame rate of 10Hz. At a 40-degree vertical viewing angle, the resolution is 0.13PPD, and at a 100-degree horizontal viewing angle, the resolution is 0.14PPD, thus achieving a photo-like resolution. The Cheetah system has an efficient rotating polygon architecture with a working power of 40W, making it the most energy-efficient high-performance lidar on the market. In addition, the Cheetah Lidar platform is a platform and powerful, the size of the sensor is 112 mm x 145 mm x 105 mm, which can greatly reduce the installation space.
The system can be used in vehicle safety systems, autonomous vehicle systems, and V2X (car-to-everything) systems for cars, trucks, buses, trains, and off-road vehicles.
