Adasens has entered a partnership to provide its portfolio of computer vision functions to Videantis in a project that aims to bring advanced sensing technologies to self-driving vehicles and automotive advanced driver assistance systems applications. Videantis will also offer its low-power, high-performance embedded vision processor to the agreement.

Videantis' processor architecture is said to carry out fast machine vision and image processing tasks at low power levels, which enable the technology to be embedded into smaller electronic control units and tiny cameras.

Marco Jacobs, VP Marketing at videantis, said, “We’ve been working together with Adasens already for some time. Intelligent automotive cameras that include our vision processors have already hit the market and mass production will start in 2019. Key OEMs and Tier 1s have chosen Ficosa and Adasens as the suppliers of the cameras and computer vision functions, respectively, for their next-generation vehicles, and we’re proud to be working with them.”

    The Blaxtair construction machine-mounted vision-based alert system distinguishes pedestrians from other objects, providing a visual/audible alarm to both driver and pedestrian when a person is in a position of danger. The intelligent camera system, from French company Arcure, is an obstacle detection device and pedestrian recognition equipment. It is capable of detecting all types of obstacles, locating them precisely with respect to the machine and determining whether an obstacle is a pedestrian or not.

    IRD, Inc's Terry Bergan discusses future applications of weigh in motion technology. The application in recent years of Weigh In Motion (WIM) at tollgates has been driven by recognition of the fact that there is economic value, which can be levied, attached to Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs) which haul laden (and are therefore heavy) rather than empty. As wear and damage to road surfaces increases exponentially with weight, the targeting of HGVs in particular makes sense from both the economic and maintenance p
