ADAS & Autonomous Vehicle Engineering - July 2023 - 23

New Tools & Technologies
High-speed cameras
3D cameras
SICK (Minneapolis,
Minnesota) introduced its
3D time-of-flight (ToF)
camera with Performance
Level c (PL c) called the
safeVisionary2. The company
states that this camera
was developed to
support customers developing
fully autonomous
vehicle systems in addition to providing 3D localization and
object recognition. The company also states that the camera
provides precise 3D measurement data that allows for autonomous
and intelligent mobile robot navigation. The safeVisionary2
reportedly features a 2-m (6.5-ft) safety range and
up to four field switching cases. The camera is based on the
same ToF platform used by SICK's Visionary-T Mini and is reportedly
suitable for applications such industrial mobile robots,
cobots and mobile service robots.

ADAS testing
AB Dynamics (Bradford-onAvon,
United Kingdom) has developed
LaunchPad Spin, a new
ADAS target platform to more
thoroughly test ADAS and AV
technologies. AB states that the
system was designed specifically
to help replicate challenging
urban test scenarios. The system
simulates dynamic movements, can carry a variety of
Vulnerable Road User (VRU) targets and has a top speed of
30 km/h (19 mph). The system also features torque vectoring
driven wheels and a precision-steered front wheel that can
continuously rotate through 360 degrees without an end
stop. Coming to a " turn on the spot " move, the steering rotates
from 0-90 deg in 0.2 seconds to guide the nose of the
platform through the arc of spin and present near-zero resistance
to the torque vectoring of the drive motors.

XIMEA (Münster,
Germany) has released
camera prototypes using
third-generation
Sony Pregius sensors.
The new models are
equipped with Sony's
Presgius sensors that
can easily replace former Sony CCD sensors like ICX285,
ICX694 and others. XIMEA states that the main goal of introducing
these sensors is to substitute the discontinued CCD
equivalents. The company claims a quantum efficiency of 70%,
which reportedly is helping to bridge the gap between CMOS
and sCMOS. XIMEA also claims that the new units easily outperform
the low-noise values of CCD sensors at the same time
providing high-speed bandwidth. The prototype cameras come
with PCIe interface for high bandwidth of 10 Gbits but also can
be equipped with a simple USB3 connection.
