AIR 4D Imaging Radar Improves Target Detection and Provides Remarkable High-Resolution 4D Imaging for Automakers
SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA, November 10, 2021 – Today, imaging radar company bitsensing announced that it has been named a CES® 2022 Innovation Awards Honoree for its AIR 4D, in the Vehicle Intelligence & Transportation category. This year’s CES Innovation Awards program received a record high number of over 1800 submissions. The announcement was made ahead of CES 2022, the world’s most influential technology event, happening Jan. 5-8 in Las Vegas, NV and digitally.
bitsensing's 79GHz AIR 4D is an imaging radar solution featuring Multi-Chip Cascading technology to improve target detection, produce elite high-resolution 4D imaging, and aid in autonomous driving collision avoidance to drastically reduce crashes and fatalities occurring on the roads today. From design to mass production, bitsensing created AIR 4D to forever transform autonomous driving and improve the way all vehicles understand surroundings.
“We are very proud to be recognized of our cutting-edge technology and the innovations to be brought. AIR 4D is the newest addition to the bitsensing lineup offering the ultimate in automotive technology by focusing on detection, perception, and reaching a greater classification level by improving the strength of the radar sensing technology,” said Dr. Jae-Eun Lee, CEO of bitsensing. “We are eager to partner with world-class automotive companies to integrate AIR 4D and showcase concept cars around the world. Combining our cutting-edge design of sensor fusions with AI solutions, AIR 4D goes beyond the possibilities of a conventional radar with its meticulously built system design that forms an elite image of surroundings to enable enhanced support for autonomous vehicles.”
The scalable data from AI machine-learning allows for AIR 4D to precisely understand surroundings and classify target objects solely through radar perception using the integrated camera sensor. AIR 4D delivers reliable detection beyond 300+ meters and wide Field of View as well as high-resolution point clouds, longer detection range, greater accuracy, and more reliable object classification. bitsensing's patent-pending array pattern and wide-band antenna design techniques are applied to create optimal accuracy of radar images.
Sleek Design with Unmatched Performance
Despite the low number of transmitters and receivers (12TX & 16RX), the advanced chipset integration generates 192 virtual antenna channels to form high radar images from the revolutionary system design. bitsensing’s unique array patterning technique and radar signal processing algorithms enable AIR 4D to perform at an impressive angular resolution for azimuth and elevation, while also obtaining a range coverage of more than 300 meters as well as accurate object estimation and classification.
Intelligent Radar Perception
The electromagnetic point clouds from AIR 4D drives the detection and classification of more than 120 objects, fueling critical data to the AV under any road circumstances. AIR 4D can recognize 9 different types of entities, including pedestrians, passenger cars, buses, trucks, etc. That data can be fused with other data from various sensors for a more reliable and safe operation of the AV. The additional integration of an AI processor supports the powerful functions of AIR 4D. The radar point cloud data and camera's vision data are processed to the AI processor to run AI real-time inference.
bitsensing also previously received the CES 2020 Innovation Awards Honoree for its AIR Traffic in the Smart Cities category.
