Delivering robust perception in autonomous systems often takes months of painstaking work to develop, train and fine-tune perception models to interpret sensory data and effectively detect, track & classify objects. With VizioR&I™, all this heavy lifting has already been done, enabling customers to utilise our fully optimised perception blocks to focus on rapidly iterating and refining new innovations and application specific enhancements. Such perception blocks include:
VizioR&I™ employs advanced neural net processing for object detection, classification, and tracking, achieving less than 25 ms latency per frame and parallel processing of over 300 detected objects.
By leveraging the detailed point cloud, robust radar odometry data and embedded NVIDIA DRIVE Orin™ within VizioR&I™, we can perform real-time, on-device radar freespace mapping. This can augment camera freespace mapping performance with enhanced range and improved robustness in low visibility environmental conditions.
High resolution sensing with intrinsic Doppler velocity. Coupled with on-device perception, this provides effective detection & tracking of obstacles at range.
100 TOPS processing power from the built-in NVIDIA Orin™ enables on-device data processing with minimal latency, delivering near instantaneous reaction times.
On-device localisation using radar point cloud based SLAM provides robust performance in adverse conditions & environments.
The high-speed 16GB LPDDR5 memory of the embedded GPU enables inter-frame point cloud position shift calculations in real-time.
Proprietary Neural Net (NN) algorithms provide high accuracy, low latency drivable free-space estimation using radar point cloud data.
The Deep Learning Accelerators (DLAs) and GPUs of the embedded NVIDIA Orin™ enable advanced on-device NN processing.
mmWave radar technology provides more robust sensor performance in poor conditions. Advanced DSP & generative point cloud enhancements reduce noise and signal interference.
The 8-core ARM CPU & 32 Tensor core GPU of the embedded NVIDIA Orin™ enable simultaneous DSP and NN optimisation of the radar point cloud in real-time.
VizioR&I™ leverages a software-defined microservices architecture to share data for downstream services. Each microservice plays a crucial role in enhancing specific aspects of radar perception, and each can be updated independently. This allows for great flexibility in the distribution of computing resources, rapid prototyping of features, and a streamlined OTA update process.
VizioR&I™ is designed to be easy to use and integrate with existing systems across a wide variety of applications. This includes UDP, DDS & ROS compatibility in addition to C or DDS compatible APIs.
The VizioR&I™ radar only needs power and a network connection before you can browse to its web interface and see the live point cloud output, or access radar configuration settings.
Each VizioR&I™ radar can be configured to allow synchronisation of the radar with other sensors to within less than a microsecond accuracy, thereby enabling fusion of point clouds and/or images from multiple sensors for maximum perception performance.
VizioR&I™ is approved for use with the NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Platform, enabling customers to build and test ADAS solutions with maximum compatibility and flexibility within their existing R&D platforms. As the only radar platform on the market with a built-in NVIDIA Orin™ NX GPU, VizioR&I™ offers customers never-before-seen radar perception capabilities that can be tailored to a wide variety of use cases.
VizioR&I™ represents a quantum leap in radar technology. Until now, the seamless execution of multiple complex perception tasks required by an advanced perception platform like 5D Perception® would have required the use of high-power external processing systems and complex networking architectures. However, with the power of NVIDIA Orin™, VizioR&I™ consolidates all of these systems into a single device for the first time, enabling massive size, weight, power & cost optimisations compared to existing state-of-the-art solutions.
The combination of powerful hardware and advanced software within VizioR&I™ allows it to deliver high-resolution 3D point clouds, robust object detection and classification up to 300 meters, radar odometry, and radar free space mapping, far surpassing the performance and capabilities of existing market offerings. Additionally, our software-defined approach ensures continuous upgrades, extending the radar's useful life and enabling easy adaptability to new challenges and applications.
The immense level of innovation and performance built into VizioR&I™ make it an invaluable tool across various industries, from automotive and agriculture to mining and even smart cities. With its plug-and-play design, ease of integration, and compatibility with other sensors, VizioR&I™ is designed to meet the needs of any customer.
