TIER IV, a leader in open-source autonomous driving technology, is delighted to announce the launch of the Sensor Fusion Development Kit, designed to ease and accelerate the development of autonomous driving systems and related applications with cutting-edge perception technology.

Solution Overview

The Kit combines state-of-the-art automotive sensors, such as HDR cameras and 3D LiDARs, and industrial-grade computers into one package. This provides users with a complete set of tools for processing sensor fusion, which eases and accelerates the development of cutting-edge perception technology. Composed of hardware and software with a proven track record in TIER IV's AD systems, the Kit also includes comprehensive documentation for its integration and operation.

By introducing the Kit, users can avoid complex undertakings related to sensor fusion, such as sensor and computer configurations, ROS2 environmental setups, system synchronization and calibration processes, and perception model tunings. This can help to reduce development cost and expedite time to market. The software provided with the Kit is open source, allowing users to employ it as a base for their own projects.
