Aeva’s Aeries II 4D LiDAR Provides Camera-Level Resolution and Velocity Measurements

Organization: Aeva
Country: USA
Website: https://www.aeva.com/
Year Founded: 2017
Number of Employees: 101-500

The Aeries II can detect vehicles 500 meters away and pedestrians at approximately 350 meters away, and the system software can compensate for adverse conditions.

Description:
RBRlogoIn February 2022, sensing systems provider Aeva announced the Aeries II, a compact, Frequency-Modulated Continuous Wave LiDAR (FMCW) “4D LiDAR” sensor designed for the automotive and trucking industries. The Aeries LiDAR-on-Chip design locates all key sensor constituents - transmitters, receivers and optics - onto a silicon photonics chip and housed in a ruggedized, compact module.

The Aeries II can deliver high-resolution images with up to 1000 lines per frame with no motion blur from data captured in real time. In addition to the 3D position of points captured doing operation, the Aeries II sensor also measures the instantaneous velocity for each pixel, allowing vehicles to both recognize where objects are, but also how fast they are moving, at distances up to 500 meters.

Analysis:
As a rule, FMCW LiDARs such as the Aeries II have greater operational ranges compared to traditional time-of-flight LiDARs, and reduced risk of interference from extraneous sources such as other LiDAR systems, the light from passing vehicles, and other ambient lighting fluctuations. According to Aeva, the Aeries II can detect vehicles 500 meters away and pedestrians at approximately 350 meters away, and the system software can compensate for adverse conditions. But the Aeries II differs from other LiDAR systems in a more substantial way.

Aeva’s Aeries II LiDAR solution differs from traditional LiDAR systems in that it can both perceive objects at a distance (their range) and measure their instant velocity (doppler velocity measurements). That is, it can differentiate between static and moving objects such as oncoming vehicles. This ability, together with the Aeries II ‘s high resolution and operational robustness, increases the safety and performance of autonomous vehicles using the system. – Dan Kara
