VISDOM.
All-Weather
Automotive Camera System

VISDOM is a market-ready CMOS-based imaging system that enhances the safety and visual perception of driver-assisted and autonomous vehicles. Powered by Bright Way Vision’s proprietary GatedVision technology, VISDOM has been tested and proven fully operational under stress-test weather and lighting conditions: fog, rain, snow, darkness, and glare blindness. Designed for your AI recognition system, VISDOM’s algorithm is also the only one that uniquely alerts for untrained objects, with a DB set of over 100,000 classified, annotated, road-related objects. Whatever the environment or conditions, if there’s an object, VISDOM will see it.

True All-Weather, Nonstop Clarity

True All-Weather, Nonstop Clarity

In fog, rain, snow, darkness, or facing glare   

Variable Long-Range, Continuous Sharpness

Continuous Sharpness

High-contrast, high-resolution, highly-identifiable across all ranges

COMPLETES THE SENSOR SUITE

Fully meets the vehicle perception requirements when combined with the standard camera already in every sensor suite

Variable Long Range

Variable Long Range

Up to 300m of full-clarity; over three times higher than a standard camera

AEB Optimizing

AEB Optimizing

Maximizes features like AEB functionality to dramatically enhance VRU’s safety

Continuous Sharpness/Contrast

Market-Ready

Tested and proven CMOS-based gated sensor with a pre-classified annotated database. Road qualified.

VISDOM is fully commercialized and economically designed, allowing easy integration into the sensor suite of a wide array of vehicles.

VISDOM's all-weather automotive camera system includes: CMOS-based NIR gated sensor, specially-designed optics and lenses, a pulse-based NIR illuminator, and a classified annotated database

GatedVision, a Road-Proven Technology

Through complete darkness

Results:
Definite long-range pedestrian and animal (VRU) detection.

Through heavy rain (50mm/hr.) and darkness (rain chamber)

Results:
Clear long-range VRU detection with droplet-reflection suppression.

Through thick fog

Results:
All tested target-types identified throughout the entire range. Over three times the visibility range compared to a standard camera while eliminating fog backscatter

Through heavy snow

Results:
The bottom three frames correspond to three range slices. The upper right is a state-of-the-art reference camera and the top left is GatedVision.
