Imagry, a leader in HD-mapless autonomous driving technology, has announced a collaboration with ADASKY, a developer of thermal imaging solutions. This partnership integrates ADASKY’s thermal cameras with Imagry’s AI-driven, vision-only autonomous driving platform, significantly improving performance and safety in low-light and challenging weather conditions.
Key Highlights
- Enhanced Perception in Low Visibility: ADASKY’s thermal cameras extend the range of object detection beyond traditional sensors, ensuring reliable navigation in complete darkness, dense fog, and low-light rural settings.
- Improved Safety for L3/L4 Autonomy: Combining thermal imaging with Imagry’s AI-driven platform enhances safety by providing earlier detection of road hazards, pedestrians, and living beings.
- Advances in Mapless Autonomy: Imagry’s vision-based driving platform now incorporates thermal imaging for superior adaptability in real-time dynamic environments.
A New Standard in Night Vision
ADASKY’s thermal imaging cameras allow autonomous vehicles to “see” beyond the visible spectrum, detecting objects and living beings at distances far exceeding those of conventional cameras with low-beam headlights. This capability enhances the functionality of Imagry’s AI Driver, enabling it to confidently navigate through extreme weather and total darkness, making night driving significantly safer.
Advancing Mapless Driving Solutions
Imagry’s platform, which operates without reliance on pre-generated HD maps, gains an edge with thermal camera integration. Using real-time perception and imitation learning, this technology adapts seamlessly to dynamic driving conditions. ADASKY’s cameras ensure that this system performs optimally, even in scenarios with compromised visibility, such as rural night driving or adverse weather conditions.
“The collaboration with ADASKY brings advanced thermal imaging into our autonomous driving system,” said Dr. Ilan Shaviv, Imagry’s Chief Technology Officer. “This integration allows our AI Driver to confidently navigate situations with compromised visibility, such as low-light or rural night driving. With this collaboration, we’re making driving safer and more reliable for everyone sharing the road.”
Seeing Beyond the Visible Spectrum
Thermal imaging enables the detection of road hazards that standard visual spectrum cameras cannot capture. ADASKY’s cameras can identify pedestrians and objects, such as a cyclist crossing a road at night, ensuring unparalleled safety in autonomous navigation under low-visibility conditions.
For instance, side-by-side comparisons demonstrate how thermal imaging reveals hazards that remain invisible to traditional cameras, particularly in dense fog and complete darkness.
About ADASKY
ADASKY specializes in long-wave infrared (LWIR) thermal cameras, designed to enhance ADAS and autonomous driving systems. These intelligent, high-resolution cameras deliver unmatched detection and classification capabilities in all visibility conditions, contributing to safer, more reliable autonomous vehicle operation.
