Outsight, Advantech, and Intel Unite to Launch a Smart Cities Solution
Outsight's Smart Cities solution in partnership with Intel & Advantech harnesses LiDAR tech for precision in urban management, enhancing safety and efficiency in high-traffic areas.
We are thrilled to announce a groundbreaking partnership between Outsight, Advantech, and Intel to deliver an innovative Smart Cities solution powered by LiDAR-based Spatial Intelligence.
This collaboration leverages the expertise and cutting-edge technology of each partner to address the growing demand for advanced urban mobility management and safety solutions.
The Technology
Our Smart Cities solution leverages LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) technology, which offers unparalleled precision in spatial measurements by using laser light to create detailed 3D maps of environments.
LiDAR sensors and cameras are connected to the Intel Core processor-based Advantech MIC 770 PC which runs the Outsight SHIFT software.
While LiDAR uses the CPU cores, Intel SceneScape uses the integrated GPU to perform video analytics on the camera frames and then the output from both is
merged together to create a live digital twin.
Key Components
Outsight’s SHIFT LiDAR Software
- Comprehensive Spatial AI Solution: The software uses advanced 3D LiDAR data processing techniques to provide accurate real-time tracking of vehicles and pedestrians.
- High Privacy Standards: Ensures complete privacy by processing data in a way that does not capture personally identifiable information.
- Versatile Applications: Suitable for various smart transportation applications, including automatic incident detection, safe distance monitoring, traffic flow measuring, vulnerable road user safety, and parking occupancy monitoring.
