– LeddarTech and Immervision Jointly Announce Collaboration to Accelerate Training of ADAS and AD Perception Models
QUEBEC CITY, May 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — LeddarTech Holdings Inc. (“LeddarTech”) (Nasdaq: LDTC) and Immervision Inc. are pleased to jointly announce a collaboration that aims to streamline the perception with a view to making it faster, more cost-effective and less data intensive. LeddarTech is an automotive software company providing proprietary AI-based low-level sensor fusion and perception software technology, LeddarVision™, for advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), autonomous driving (AD), and parking applications. . Immervision is a leading developer of advanced vision systems that combine optics, image processing and sensor fusion technology.
This joint effort combines LeddarTech’s expertise in AI-based low-level sensor fusion and perception software technology and Immervision’s leadership in advanced vision systems, creating a powerful synergy aimed at improving ADAS and AD perception training.
The goal of perception technology in ADAS is to provide accurate and timely information to the vehicle control system, allowing it to make informed decisions and assist the driver in various driving tasks, such as collision avoidance, lane keeping, and adaptive cruise control. However, the development and validation process requires expensive data collection and labeling.
LeddarTech and Immervision’s collaboration aims to significantly improve and optimize this process by enabling large-scale data reuse. The progress made by its research teams allows data reuse across various ADAS and AD platforms, without gaps between simulation and reality. This means that existing data assets can now be leveraged for new platforms, significantly reducing the time and cost of developing perception models, thus enabling a faster and more cost-effective development cycle for the entire system. This optimization is expected to result in a more cost-effective and secure future for ADAS and AD.
The companies aim to demonstrate this technology in the third quarter of 2024.
“At Immervision, our partnership with LeddarTech is a step forward in perfecting perception software. We are pioneering a method to train these systems more quickly and cost-effectively, minimizing the need for extensive data collection. This advancement changes the rules of the game in reducing the risk associated with the development of advanced vision systems,” said Michel Van Maercke, CEO of Immervision. “Through our joint efforts with LeddarTech, we aim to accelerate the evolution of ADAS and AD technologies, accelerating our journey towards a safer and more efficient autonomous future.”
Pierre Olivier, Chief Technology Officer at LeddarTech, explained: “I am excited about this collaboration, which has the potential to significantly accelerate the development and deployment of ADAS and AD solutions. LeddarTech and Immervision have collaborated before and our teams share a common vision of the contribution that tools and data can make to realizing the dream of fully autonomous vehicles.”
