New imaging technology claims to be cheaper alternative to Lidar

Israeli imaging company TriEye has announced the launch of its proprietary SEDAR, or spectrum enhanced detection and ranging, platform, which the company claims is a more cost-effective alternative to typical sensing technologies such as lidar. The platform uses short-wave infrared (SWIR) to create 2D imaging and 3D depth sensing of its surroundings.

The new platform has already received significant investor interest, including from Intel, Samsung and Porsche.

“The TriEye SEDAR platform is poised to transform the sensing industry with its unique combination of attributes,” said Avi Bakal, TriEye CEO. “Developed through a decade of research at Hebrew University in Jerusalem, SEDAR combines a SWIR image sensor and laser illuminator on a single platform, which delivers unmatched high spatial resolution long-range imaging and depth sensing in all lighting and weather conditions.

“Smaller in size, higher in resolution and easier to integrate than other sensor technologies, SEDAR provides an entirely new sensing modality.”
