Foresight has announced a project with an Israeli security contractor, who is interested in using Foresight’s computer vision system instead of LiDAR sensors. Foresight will receive about $ 250,000
Foresight from Ness Ziona reported yesterday (Wednesday) on a project in the military field with an Israeli security contractor, for the IDF. As part of the project, Foresight was asked to adapt its computerized vision system, Quadrasight, to the needs of the IDF. Foresight reported that the project is underway after about two years of tests and demonstrations. It was also reported that the computer vision system will replace the use of LiDAR sensors in the security contractor’s solutions. Foresight will receive about $ 250,000 for the project.
The computer vision system QuadSight Of Foresight is based on the use of two infrared cameras and two visible light cameras. This array is designed to provide stereoscopic (three-dimensional) vision, which mimics the way the human eye sees. Foresight has previously reported that tests it conducted revealed that the system Provides obstacle detection capability approaching 100% In any weather or lighting conditions.
In July 2020, Foresight reported that the land division of Elbit Systems had ordered from it two customized versions of the system for autonomous driving of off-road vehicles such as unpaved roads. Foresight’s system is actually based on the technologies of Magna BSP from the defense market, which established Foresight in 2015. Magna has developed an electro-optical radar for the peripheral security of sensitive borders and facilities, and in fact Foresight’s ADAS system is based on this technology.
