Japan – Vision systems specialist, Kyocera Corp, based in Kyoto, has launched a new vision system for road vehicles that allows objects in the road to be seen clearly by the driver at night, heavy rain, fog and other weather conditions that cause poor visibility.
The company says it uses a mixture of advanced technologies to achieve this higher level of object visibilty for the driver. It uses a headlight that can emit both white (RGB) and near-infrared (NIR) light on the same optical axis which allows higher accuracy object recognition than alternative technologies. The system integrates RGB-NIR sensors, and a unique “Image-Fusion AI Recognition Technology” developed by Kyocera for high-performance object recognition.
