NODAR

The company develops and sells 3D vision systems for the autonomous vehicle market, targeting automotive original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and Tier 1 suppliers. Its core product, Hammerhead™, is a software-based stereo vision system that utilizes two or more standard automotive-grade cameras to generate high-density 3D point clouds. This approach provides long-range, high-resolution depth perception, aiming to enhance the safety and reliability of advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and fully autonomous driving platforms.

The system is designed to detect objects at distances up to 1,000 meters, a capability that addresses a critical challenge in autonomous navigation, particularly at high speeds where long-range sensing is essential for safe braking and maneuvering. The technology features patented auto-calibration, which ensures system reliability and accuracy under various conditions. NODAR's solution offers an alternative to LiDAR-based systems, potentially providing a more cost-effective and scalable option by leveraging existing camera hardware. The system's applications include forward collision warning, path planning, automatic emergency braking, and traffic jam assist.
