Wide Spectral Range in HD
HD capabilities for detecting concealed malfunctions and defects, and identifying materials in a wide spectral range (0.4-1.6µm)
Industrial
Effective Within All Environments
Vehicle autonomy is not limited to automotive. Just like in automotive applications, existing visible and NIR systems are limited in range and performance. Sensing in the SWIR wavelength range solves these problems again.
It’s easy to see how this enables emerging applications like autonomous delivery vehicles, but this technology is increasingly being applied in warehouses, farms, and work sites to improve operational efficiencies.
In these applications, outdoor performance and operational efficiency is significantly improved using SWIR wavelengths. With the HD SWIR image sensor, the SEDAR systems are used for localization, mapping, collision avoidance, and safety. In these applications, SEDAR MR systems can be configured to provide depth sensing up to 60 meters with a wide field of view in all lighting and environmental conditions.
Challenges in Robot Navigation Systems
When a robot’s navigation system doesn’t know where it is, or how to avoid an object, its default is to STOP. That way there are no collisions, no damage, no injuries. But it also means that its primary function cannot be completed, that means no deliveries, no cleaning, and no work getting done. A SEDAR SR system can help avoid these situations by enabling the system to work at a longer range, in outdoor environments, in all conditions – day, night, rain, fog.
That means deliveries occur and work continues – safely and efficiently – at all the times. And your robot doesn’t have to stop.

Cutting the Costs: Affordable SWIR Cameras
Pricing is a crucial decision factor in the development of products in the automotive industry. The systems that underlie highly automated vehicles (L3 and above) are more costly compared to the prices of L1 and L2 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS).

Remote Material Sensing Turns the Invisible, Visible
Every material has a unique spectral response defined by its chemical and physical characteristics; that response can be detected by comparing the relative intensities of carefully chosen spectral bands in a process called remote material sensing.
