Lidarlaser and lidar options
Shortlist the sensors
We shortlisted candidates such as lidar and laser-based technologies and reviewed sonar systems.
A global automotive manufacturer wanted to measure the depth of water in a river or stream from a vehicle. We reviewed the sensing technologies and connected the client with their developers, helping it plan both near-term fixes and future models.
The client is a global automotive original equipment manufacturer (OEM) looking for ways to measure the depth of water in a river or stream from a vehicle. It wanted to develop a depth sensor device that could be mounted on its vehicles.
Prescouter was asked to highlight novel technologies and developments that could help the client develop a vehicle-mounted depth sensor.
Optical methods that estimate depth from above the water.
Acoustic ways to measure what lies below.
Algorithms that estimate depth from standard image sensors.
We shortlisted candidates such as lidar and laser-based technologies and reviewed sonar systems.
An earlier-stage study described a mapping system for muddy water that used green lidar.
We connected directly with the developers of vision tools, neural network and wave break density algorithms.
The client gained a clear view of the leading solutions available, confirmed its near-term plan for the challenge, and selected potential partners to commercialize novel technologies for future models.
The fastest way to solve the challenge today.
Developers ready to commercialize new sensing.
Early-stage methods worth tracking.
Measuring a river from a moving vehicle is hard. Talking directly to the people building the algorithms shows what is ready and what is close.
