Fusing Low-Level Aspects and Perception for NCAP and Galvanic Skin Response - Sequel (Part 2)
In the rapidly evolving world of automated driver assistance systems (ADAS), LeddarTech has taken a significant step forward with the development of two comprehensive front-view products, LVF-E (entry) and LVF-H (high). These products are designed specifically for the cost-effective high performance required to reach 5-star safety ratings in various vehicles.
The LVF-E and LVF-H are part of LeddarTech's mission to provide a scalable system that reduces research and development time and cost for Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and Tier 1-2 suppliers. This enables them to go to market faster, delivering life-saving technology to the masses.
As the future of ADAS requires sensor fusion and perception solutions to perform well across varied environments, conditions, and scenarios, LeddarTech's LeddarVision system stands out. It can continue operation despite a dirty lens and camera failure, outperforming legacy object-level fusion solutions in terms of reducing false alarms, small object detection, superior object separation, and position measurement accuracy in highway scenarios.
Testing these advanced systems is no easy feat, given the multitude of tests performed on the vehicle, with one or more test conditions such as vehicle speed, object speed, and angle of introduction often changing. For a vehicle to rank well on NCAP ADAS tests, its fusion and perception system must perform well under various conditions and show strong performance on multiple criteria under multiple scenarios.
LeddarVision's demonstrated performance forms the basis of a perception system designed to deliver a 5-star safety rating. LVF-H, in particular, boasts superior object detection performance, including the ability to detect occluded Vulnerable Road Users (VRUs) and vehicles, providing early warning in NCAP-tested scenarios.
Perception systems must remain cost-effective while delivering high performance. A scalable and sensor-agnostic sensor fusion and perception system is necessary for future advancements in ADAS to be built on the same platform. LeddarTech's LeddarVision perception stack extends safety features support with detected objects trajectory prediction, perception decomposition, and Operational Design Domain (ODD) analysis.
The European New Car Assessment Programme (Euro NCAP) has introduced automated emergency braking (AEB) ADAS testing involving car-to-car crashes. Future testing of NCAP will incorporate night-time and inclement weather testing such as low light and/or heavy precipitation, fog, or snow. The white paper series from LeddarTech discusses these evolving testing requirements and the importance of ADAS in ensuring road safety.
It's important to note that LeddarTech reserves the right to modify design, characteristics, and products at any time, without notice, at its sole discretion. The white paper series does not constitute a reference design and does not guarantee completeness or correctness. Users are responsible for selecting the appropriate products for their application, validating, designing, and testing their application, and ensuring that it meets applicable safety and security standards.
Part 1 of the white paper series analyzed the maturity levels of new car assessment programs worldwide. The series continues to delve into the intricacies of ADAS testing and the role LeddarTech's innovative products play in ensuring the safety of drivers and passengers on the road.
