Autonomous Vehicle Technology Publishes Aravind Ratnam’s New Metrics for LiDAR Evaluation

In the August 2019 issue of Autonomous Vehicle Technology magazine, AEye’s VP of Product Management, Aravind Ratnam, rethinks the three “Rs” of LiDAR — rate, resolution, and range — and proposes extending automotive LiDAR evaluation metrics to meet the capabilities of today's technology.

Rethinking the Three “Rs” of LiDAR: Rate, Resolution and Range

Conventional metrics used for evaluating the performance of LiDAR for autonomous vehicles (such as frame rate, full frame resolution, and detection range) do not sufficiently address the challenges facing autonomous driving. In response, AEye proposes three new metrics for extending LiDAR evaluation, including: extending the metric of frame rate to include object revisit rate; expanding resolution to capture instantaneous resolution; and extending detection range to reflect the more critically important object classification range.

SAE’s Autonomous Vehicle Engineering on New LiDAR Performance Metrics

In the May 2019 issue of SAE’s Autonomous Vehicle Engineering (AVE) magazine, AEye’s technical product manager, Indu Vijayan, argues that conventional metrics used for evaluating the unique capabilities of more advanced lidar systems are inadequate, failing to address real-world driving problems facing autonomous vehicles. In ‘New Performance Metrics for Lidar,’ Indu proposes that new measurements, such as object revisit rate and instantaneous (angular) resolution, are more advantageous for autonomous vehicle development.

Forbes Features AEye’s iDAR 1000 Meter Detection Range and 100 HZ Scan Rate Achievement

Forbes details why conventional, solid-state LiDAR systems won't be enough to cultivate the future of autonomous vehicles. Instead, what will catapult autonomous vehicles into the mainstream market is faster, smarter, detection systems, like AEye's iDAR, which fuses agile LiDAR with a high-resolution, low-light camera to replicate the advanced processes of the human visual cortex.
