China Overseas LiDAR Industry Research Report 2022: Chip-based LiDAR Development is Vital for Mass Production and Cost Reduction
Summary
LiDAR Research: Perception Algorithms Become the Layout Focus of Foreign Vendors Amid a variety of technology routes in parallel, rotating mirror and flash solutions are adopted most widely during OEM mass production. LeddarTechs open platform based on its full-waveform digital signal processing technology combined with VayaVisions raw data sensor fusion and perception software stack will deliver the most accurate environmental model, enabling the volume deployment of ADAS and AD applications. Innovizs software leverages the massive data from LiDAR and proprietary AI algorithms to provide excellent scenario awareness as well as an automatically upgradable ASIL B(D) solution. The system is designed to handle highway autonomy and a number of safety measures to proactively avoid collisions with evasive maneuvers, reducing accident rates by up to seven times. The custom SoC integrates single photon avalanche diode ("SPAD") detectors and a proprietary digital signal processing system to handle all commands and control logic of LiDAR.
