A holistic picture for processing raw sensor data and developing autonomous driving test systems and ADAS functionalities will be presented.
3D LiDAR people counter solution with wide coverage area
Quanergy Systems has announced the availability of a new QORTEX People Counter solution, S3-2WSO, with double the coverage compared to previous iterations. The new release enables users to accurately monitor and control occupancy limits in public transportation and public venues while protecting individual privacy.
Temperature-stable LTO detectors for FTIR spectroscopy
LASER COMPONENTS’ has announced that its LT3111 series pyroelectric lithium tantalate (LTO) detectors are especially suited for FTIR spectroscopy (Fourier-transform infrared). The core of this new detector series is a 7-µm-thick chip.
Miniature ambient light sensors for smartphone displays
ams has announced the TSL2520 and TSL2521 ambient light sensors which fit in a tiny bezel or gap to enable a smartphone’s screen to stretch from edge-to-edge of the chassis with no aperture. By using the TSL2520/21 to maximise the viewable screen area, smartphone manufacturers can provide the best possible user experience while enabling effective camera image correction.
Sensor innovations in active noise cancellation
Molex has introduced an accelerometer-based Road Noise Cancelling (RNC) sensor, the first product in a new family of automotive Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) sensors. These sensors will play a role in combatting unwanted road, wind and HVAC car noise while reducing low-frequency sounds that increase driver fatigue.
