SAN FRANCISCO - Californer -- London, United Kingdom – Cron AI, a leader in adaptive 3D edge perception platforms, and Lumotive, a pioneer in programmable optical semiconductors, have announced a groundbreaking collaboration. Together, they aim to develop the next generation of 3D sensor technology: a solid-state LiDAR-camera super sensor with integrated deep learning capabilities, leveraging Lumotive's Light Control Metasurface (LCM™) chip for enhanced 3D sensing.
This partnership represents a significant advancement in 3D perception. It overcomes the limitations of previous technologies by combining their strengths into a single, compact module based on Lumotive's 3D Sensing M40 reference design. This innovation paves the way for a new era of intelligent sensors that seamlessly integrate LiDAR and camera data, transforming it into actionable intelligence through a robust deep learning layer.
Synergy Beyond LiDAR and Camera: A Super Sensor Is Born
The traditional debate between LiDAR and camera technologies is now rendered obsolete. Cron AI and Lumotive's Light Control Metasurface (LCM™) chip-based "super sensor" transcends the simple combination of camera and LiDAR functionalities. It unlocks a new level of perception by combining critical camera functionalities like License Plate Recognition (LPR) / Automated Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) and LiDAR capabilities such as precise object detection, classification, speed and location tracking, data fusion, and comprehensive environmental data. The deep learning layer then analyzes this data in real-time, extracting actionable insights for various applications.
