Platform one Cepton Technologies has developed an evaluation kit for Lidar systems in unmanned systems with deep-learning software powered by Nvidia’s graphics processor (writes Nick Flaherty). The Vista-Edge Lidar Evaluation Kit is an edge processing system that combines Cepton’s Vista Lidar sensor and a Jetson TX2 supercomputer in a single module. It can be used for developing systems using the long-range Vista-M and Vista-X Lidars. Vista-Edge contains all the necessary software and tools pre-installed to allow the Lidar’s 3D point cloud of data to be viewed and analysed. The software development kit and sample code is designed to accelerate the ability for customers to develop their own product- specific software around the sensors. The Vista-Edge has ports for Gigabit Ethernet, HDMI, USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 connections. It will work on IoT and wi-fi networks, and takes only a few minutes to set up before engineers can view the Lidar’s data. Cepton plans to start initial production of the sensors later this year, with volume production by 2020.
