Long-range 3D vision for automotive
Autonomous vehicles require reliable 3D data to make safe decisions. Designed from the ground up to support the needs of the automotive industry, NODAR Hammerhead supports unsupervised driving with unprecedented range, accuracy, resolution, and reliability.
Whether for L3 ADAS or L4 robotaxis, NODAR delivers a new level of safety and performance, expanding Operational Design Domain (ODD) and delighting customers while ushering the industry closer to Vision Zero (no fatalities).
NODAR Hammerhead
Hammerhead provides the distance to every pixel in real-time.
Key Use Cases
Lost Cargo Detection
Able to detect objects as small as 10cm @ 150m, Hammerhead enables unsupervised highway driving up to 130 kph, satisfying European L3 ALKS regs.
VRU (Vulnerable Road User) Protection
Reliable detection of any object, including pedestrians, cyclists, and other vulnerable road users. No prior training necessary.
AEB (Automatic Emergency Braking)
Combined with radar or used as a standalone system, Hammerhead can reliably inform an AEB system of impending threats on the road.
Path Planning
Hammerhead high-res 3D pointcloud and object list outputs enable the on-board perception system to make informed path-planning decisions.
Automated Parking
Automated parking using pairs of existing cameras around the vehicle to create high-res pointclouds and eliminate ultrasonic sensors.
SW End Switch Verification
Ensures surround-view cameras are fully functional at startup with a single snapshot, eliminating the need for vehicle movement. This improves reliability and safety while reducing downtime for autonomous and assisted driving systems.
Hammerhead Ultra Long-Range Detection
Using RTK to validate measurement accuracy, Hammerhead tracks a vehicle out to 600 meters
