🚀 Feature Spotlight: Three Reasons Scantinel Photonics’ FMCW LiDAR is a Game-Changer for Autonomous Mobility! Here’s a look at three features of our FMCW LiDAR that take autonomous driving performance to the next level. 👇 Seeing Farther & Safer: Detection Range Over 500 Meters 🚗💨 In autonomous driving, visibility and distance are everything. Our FMCW LiDAR provides precise detection beyond 500 meters at a 1550nm wavelength—enhancing range without losing the sharp resolution needed to identify even the smallest hazards. This gives vehicles critical reaction time to safely navigate high-speed environments. Why 1550nm? Traditional LiDAR operates around 905nm, typically detecting up to 200-300 meters. While functional, these shorter ranges can limit reaction time. Our 1550nm wavelength is not only eye-safe but extends detection range without compromising clarity. Plus, it enables high-power laser diodes that push FMCW LiDAR performance to new heights. 🌌 The Doppler Difference: Instantaneous Speed Data for Every Object ⚡📏 With Doppler-based velocity measurement, speed data is captured in real-time for every pixel, helping vehicles accurately gauge whether surrounding objects are approaching or moving away—crucial for collision prevention. So, what is the Doppler effect? It’s the phenomenon where waves change frequency as the source moves relative to an observer. Unlike Time-of-Flight (ToF) systems that only measure distance, our technology directly captures speed data, eliminating complex algorithms and improving reliability. 4D Data Fusion: Seamlessly Integrated Spatial & Velocity Data 🌐 We merged velocity and 3D spatial data into a streamlined format that vehicle systems can easily process. Unlike conventional systems that juggle separate data streams, our cohesive view reduces fragmentation and errors for superior accuracy. Many systems rely on multiple sensors (cameras, radar, traditional LiDAR) and complex algorithms to pull in velocity data, but these approaches introduce inefficiencies. In contrast, our integrated solution brings all critical data together in one place, enhancing both clarity and dependability. 😉 👀 Stay Tuned: Discover how Scantinel’s cost-effective FMCW LiDAR is making advanced autonomous technology more affordable and scalable for manufacturers across industries. #LiDAR #SingleChip #FMCW #Innovation #Scantinel #FutureOfMobility
