eTOF™ LiDAR

 

 

Newsight’s enhanced Time-of-Flight (eTOF™) solid-state LiDAR is a complete solution for a versatile and affordable 3D mapping device, using Newsight’s patented eTOF™ technology for improved performance. The reference design is highly configurable for different applications and very flexible in coping with different scenarios and environmental conditions.

Based on Newsight’s NSI1000 sensor, the eTOF™ LiDAR is specially designed for a wide horizontal field of view (FOV) and a high frame rate. It provides high accuracy and precision with a high dynamic range. The eTOF™ LiDAR will enable LiDAR manufacturers, Tier 1’s, and OEM’s to build a reliable and affordable 3D vision solution for ADAS and autonomous driving.
