Ladybug6: 360° view

Teledyne Flir is now shipping its new Ladybug6 camera for high accuracy 360° spherical image capture.

The high-resolution unit is designed to capture images from moving platforms in all weather conditions. Applications include panoramic street image production, road and asset inspections, and feature extraction for HD map generation.

Mike Lee, senior product manager at Teledyne Flir, says: “For applications that require high accuracy imaging like high-definition mapping, road surveying and asset inspection, the Ladybug6 gives users precision trigger control and resolution in a field-proven format.”

The manufacturer says support for Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and advanced APIs, combined with hardware inputs, enable precise camera settings and trigger control.

Ladybug6's industrial-grade design and out-of-the-box factory calibration produce 72 Megapixel (MP) images with pixel values that are spatially accurate within +/- 2 mm at a 10m distance.

    Toyota Research Institute-Advanced Development (TRI-AD), technology company Maxar Technologies and NTT Data are working together to build high-definition (HD) maps for autonomous vehicles (AV) using satellite imagery. TRI-AD carried out an analysis, saying that current HD maps cover less than 1% of the global road network and there is a need to broaden the coverage of urban areas and local roads before AVs can become a mainstream mobility technology. A HD map created from satellite imagery would all

    Researchers Yuting Yang, Camillo Taylor and Daniel Lee have developed a system to turn surveillance cameras into traffic counters. Traffic information can be collected from existing inexpensive roadside cameras but extracting it often entails manual work or costly commercial software. Against this background the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission (DVRPC) was looking for an efficient and user-friendly solution to extract traffic information from videos captured from road intersections.
