4. Intended Use and Description
This User Guide is intended for developers and integrators. This document provides information about the
Leddar Pixell 3D flash LiDAR sensor (hereafter referred to as “the sensor” or “Leddar Pixell”). 3D flash
technology provides detections in a 3D environment.
Using the latest 3D flash LiDAR technology, the Pixell provides more scene coverage than most scanning
LiDARs, which drastically reduces dead zones. Thanks to the Pixell’ s wide horizontal FoV, four sensors will
cover the entire vehicle surroundings and provide redundancy coverage in its corners. Data provided by
Leddar Pixell allow for object tracking and identification of possible collisions based on object position,
velocity, and directionality, without overwhelming the vehicle’s CPU with massive amounts of unnecessary
data.
The Pixell has been designed using the state-of-the-art LeddarEngine™, the powerful LiDAR core for
automotive and mobility applications, leveraging LeddarTech’s patented signal acquisition and processing
and highly integrated SoC.
Leddar Pixell 3D flash LiDAR sensors are used to detect the presence of objects, people, and animals
(whether moving or stationary). Throughout this document, all these elements will be referred to as “objects.”
The goal of this document is to help you use your sensor and Leddar Configurator so that you can achieve
the best of their capabilities.
