This compact and high-performing LiDAR is designed to meet the stringent demands of modern autonomous vehicles, enabling safer and more reliable navigation.
1. The Smallest 1550nm Automotive LiDAR: Ultra-Compact Design
Measuring just 225x120x45mm, the LS128S1 is 20% smaller than similar products in the market, making it the world’s smallest 1550nm fiber optic automotive LiDAR. This ultra-thin, compact design is only 45mm high, ensuring it fits seamlessly into vehicle designs while enhancing the overall aesthetic appeal. Its small size also facilitates easier integration into vehicles, allowing for more flexible and efficient installation.
2. Revolutionary 1550nm Technology: Enhancing Performance and Safety
The LS128S1 uses a 1550nm fiber optic laser, which is more than 10,000 times safer than traditional 905nm lasers for human eyes. This advanced wavelength allows for higher peak pulse power while staying within safe levels for human exposure. With the ability to detect objects at a greater distance, this system provides more reaction time and a greater safety margin, especially during high-speed driving scenarios, where every second counts.
- 500m Long-Range Detection: The LS128S1 offers a 500m detection range, with 250m detection at 10% reflectivity, allowing it to cover large distances and provide early warnings for obstacles, improving vehicle safety.
- High Precision and Detail: The image-level point cloud generated by the LiDAR captures fine details, providing a clear and accurate representation of the environment. With 128, 256, or 512 laser channels, the system can generate up to 640 million points per second, enabling faster and more detailed 3D imaging than traditional LiDAR sensors.
3. Customized ROI: Ultra-Fine Object Detection
One of the standout features of the LS128S1 is its ability to customize Region of Interest (ROI), enabling ultra-fine detection of small objects. The system has a field of view of 120°(Vertical) x 25°(Horizontal) and a standard resolution of 0.09° (Horizontal) x 0.2° (Vertical). When using the ROI customization, the resolution can be fine-tuned to 0.01°, allowing the detection of objects as small as 40cm x 13cm at distances of up to 250m.
This ability to focus on specific areas within the environment ensures that even small objects, such as debris or pedestrians, are detected early, enhancing safety in complex driving conditions. The LS128S1 also supports dynamic ROI configurations, further optimizing performance based on real-time conditions.
4. In-House Developed 1550nm Fiber Laser: Ensuring High Reliability and Cost Efficiency
Under the leadership of Mr. Hu Xiaobo, the founder of LeiShen Intelligent, the company’s engineering team has spent three years developing and manufacturing the 1550nm fiber laser in-house. By designing and producing over a dozen high-power core components and automation equipment for fiber optic devices, the team has ensured that the LS128S1 provides outstanding performance reliability while offering cost-effective solutions for the automotive industry.
This development eliminates dependency on external suppliers, allowing LeiShen Intelligent to maintain full control over the production process and pass on the cost savings to customers without compromising on quality.
5. Superior Performance in All Conditions
The LS128S1 excels in various environmental conditions, thanks to its powerful environmental perception capabilities. The 1550nm wavelength provides superior focus, enabling the LiDAR to detect even small objects in a variety of challenging conditions. Whether it’s nighttime driving, foggy weather, or high-speed travel, this LiDAR ensures consistent and reliable performance. Additionally, its small size and lightweight design make it ideal for autonomous vehicles, enhancing their perception systems without adding significant weight.
