Blickfield's Qb2 concept was announced at CES 2022

Lidar manufacturer Blickfeld is beginning to deliver its Qb2 device to customers, following its concept announcement at CES 2022.

Qb2 is based on Blickfeld’s proprietary solid-state software-defined Lidar technology.

The company says it "enables the capturing and processing of data on a single device, removing the need for additional computers and bringing faster insights, improved response times and better bandwidth availability via edge computing".

Co-founder Dr. Florian Petit says it will "revolutionise" the Internet of Things sector.

Blickfield says there will be efficiency gains through enriched, actionable real-time 3D data for use with smart infrastructure, with Lidar used to anonymously track traffic flow data and crowd movements in transit hubs, for example.

Installation and maintenance costs are low, Blickfield says, due to the on-device WiFi connectivity.

Qb2 offers improved functionalities and performance parameters like enhanced adaptable field of view (FoV), detection range and scan pattern, plus higher resolution, accuracy and an IP67 rating.

    For some, machine vision is the coming technology. For others, it’s already here. Although it remains a relative newcomer to the ITS sector, its effects look set to be profound and far-reaching. Encapsulating in just a few short words the distinguishing features of complex technologies and their operating concepts can sometimes be difficult. Often, it is the most subtle of nuances which are both the most important and yet also the most easily lost. Happily, in the case of machine vision this isn’t the case:

    Perceptions of machine vision being an expensive solution are being challenged by developments in both core technologies and ancillaries. Here, Jason Barnes and David Crawford look at the latest developments in the sector. A notable aspect of machine vision is the flexibility it offers in terms of how and how much data is passed around a network. With smart cameras, processing capabilities at the front end mean that only that which is valid need be communicated back to a central processor of any descripti
