BasicAI Cloud* Pioneers Stronger Multimodal Support: 4D, 3D and 2D Fusion

Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) are essential applications of machine vision. As ADAS continues to evolve, integrating technologies like adaptive cruise control, collision prevention, and traffic jam assistance is paramount. In order to perform optimally across varying weather conditions, ADAS relies on a fusion of multiple sensors, including 2D cameras, LiDAR, and radar. Enter the game-changer: 4D Imaging Radar, which is rapidly gaining traction thanks to its all-weather performance, expansive field of view, and cost-effectiveness. 4D Imaging Radar modules are predicted to penetrate 6.8% of the market by 2025, and the Global Automotive 4D Imaging Radar Market is projected to grow at a CAGR of around 20% from 2022 to 2027. This innovative radar system combines distance, direction, speed (doppler) and height data to create a comprehensive four-dimensional representation of the environment.

Emerging 4D Imaging Radar

As an evolutionary step forward from traditional millimeter-wave radar, 4D Imaging Radar adds height dimension data to the mix. This powerful technology enables the perception of "3D+speed" in four dimensions, allowing for practical analysis of target contours, categories, and behaviors.

Traditional Radars v.s. 4D Imaging Radar

The Advantages of 4D Imaging Radar are:

1. All-weather Performance: 4D Imaging radar is robust to adverse weather conditions, such as fog, rain, and snow, and can even penetrate non-metallic materials.

2. Wide Field of View: The 4D imaging radar’s ability to detect at the longest range of all sensors gives it the highest likelihood of being the first to identify danger. 4D imaging radar systems provide a wide field of view, allowing them to cover larger areas with fewer sensors.

3. Cost-effective: Imaging radar technology is often more affordable than LiDAR, making it more accessible to a broader range of users.

Revolutionizing Industries with 4D Imaging Radar

4D Imaging Radar is poised to transform a wide range of industries by delivering real-time, high-resolution data in even the most challenging environments. Sectors such as automotive, smart city development, industrial and infrastructure monitoring, precision agriculture, medical and healthcare, robotics, environmental monitoring and disaster management, and mining, all stand to benefit from the capabilities of 4D Imaging Radar.

Automotive — Within the automotive industry, 4D Imaging Radar enhances Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and supports autonomous vehicles. These systems bolster driver safety by detecting and tracking objects, pedestrians, and other vehicles in the surrounding environment. Providing vital information for collision avoidance, lane departure warnings, and adaptive cruise control, the high-resolution, real-time data processing capabilities of 4D imaging radar enable vehicles to navigate safely in challenging weather conditions such as rain, fog, and snow, where traditional optical sensors often fall short.

Smart City — 4D Imaging Radar technology proves invaluable in intelligent traffic management systems, helping to optimize traffic flow, reduce congestion, and improve overall transportation efficiency. By offering high-resolution data and real-time capabilities, this technology allows for more accurate and efficient road condition monitoring, leading to well-informed decisions regarding traffic signal adjustments and other interventions. The robust performance of 4D imaging radar in adverse weather conditions and various lighting scenarios ensures the consistent effectiveness of these systems, contributing to safer and more efficient urban transportation networks.
