LeddarTech releases low-level fusion and perception product to support automotive and ADAS applications
LeddarTech’s LeddarVision Surround (LVS-2+) is a fusion and perception software stack that will support premium surround-view L2/L2+ ADAS highway assistance and 5-star NCAP 2025/GSR 2022 safety applications, claimed the company.
Built on LeddarTech’s LeddarVision software, the LVS-2+ expands the company’s c offering of the LeddarVision Front-Entry LVF-E and Front-High LVF-H. These products target entry- to premium-level ADAS applications.
The LVS-2+ extends the LVF front-view product family from a one-camera plus two to five-radar (1V2R-1V5R) sensor configuration to a five-camera plus five-radar (5V5R) configuration. This enhanced configuration supports ADAS functions such as traffic jam and highway assist applications, enabling automated lane changes, overtaking and extended speed range adaptive cruise control.
Low-level fusion combines camera and radar modalities, achieving a high-performance system with reduced requirements per modality at a lower total sensing cost, claimed the company.
Superior accuracy in object separation and longitudinal position measurement on highways enables higher-performing adaptive cruise control implementation, it added.
L2/L2+ highway assist includes adaptive cruise control up to 160km/h, lane centring control, active lane change assist, traffic jam assist and highway assist (including auto-lane change support).
It also addresses 5-star NCAP 2025/GSR 2022 safety applications.
It includes a built-in redundancy feature to accommodate sensor failures, degradations and conflicts, and supports global scene attributes detection for operational design domain (ODD) analysis, sensor coverage and health monitoring features.
A comprehensive surround-view fusion and perception software platform supports entry-level to premium ADAS highway assist Level 2/2+ applications.
‘A’ samples of the LVS-2+ and ‘A’ samples of the LVF-E and LVF-H products are available. LVS-2+ ‘B’ sample availability is planned for late Q3 2023.
In December, the company released LVF products for entry-level to premium ADAS safety and highway assistance L2/L2+ applications, and LeddarVision Surround (LVS-2+) further increases its software offering, with products that solve more safety issues with a scalable low-level fusion and perception software stack that offers higher performance at a lower cost, said CEO Charles Boulanger.
