Owl Autonomous imaging 3D thermal sensor: a Best of Sensors Award Winner

The awards programme is presented by Sensors Converge and Fierce Electronics and honours the best in sensor technologies and the sensor ecosystem, people, and companies.

Throughout the world, government agencies and industry organisations are in the process of developing and implementing automotive safety regulations that will force vehicle makers to adapt new safety and night-time driving technologies that are much more effective than those in use today. Owl’s Thermal Ranger combines the latest Thermal Camera hardware and AI technology that not only can “see” warm objects like humans, animals, and bicyclists on the road, but can also classify them as to what they are and how far away they are, enabling the vehicles to automatically hit the brakes or steer around them.

“Pedestrian safety, especially for night-time and urban driving, is THE critical milestone for the automotive industry’s next-generation vehicles, and we are honoured to be recognised by Sensors Converge & Fierce Electronics for the impact of the problems we seek to solve” says Chuck Gershman, CEO & Co-founder of Owl Autonomous Imaging.

Submissions were judged based on the value to the marketplace, the impact of the problems it solves, or issues it addresses and the uniqueness of the design.

Charlene Soucy, Senior Director, Technology – Sensors & Electronics, said: “Congratulations to the individuals, teams, and technologies on their award wins. Each year we are continually amazed at the innovations and achievements the award winners have created. This year, the winners have outdone themselves with their innovations and perseverance. We are excited to honour them as the best of the best in the industry.”
