HADAR could revolutionize the way autonomous vehicles and robots perceive the world around them.
send out signals and detect the reflection to infer the presence/absence of any object and its distance. This gives extra information of the scene in addition to the camera vision, especially when the ambient illumination is poor,” Zubin Jacob, a professor of electrical and computer engineering at Purdue and article co-author, tells. “HADAR is fundamentally different, it uses invisible infrared radiation to reconstruct a night-time scene with clarity like daytime.
One look at HADAR’s visual renderings makes it clear that the technology could soon become a vital part of AI systems within self-driving vehicles, autonomous robots, and even touchless security screenings at public events. That said, a few hurdles remain before cars can navigate 24/7 thanks to heat sensors—HADAR is currently expensive, requires real-time calibration, and is still susceptible to environmental barriers that detract from its accuracy.
“To be honest, I am afraid of the dark. Who isn’t?” writes Jacob. “It is great to know that thermal photons carry vibrant information in the night similar to daytime. Someday we will have machine perception using HADAR which is so accurate that it does not distinguish between night and day.”Andrew Paul is Popular Science's staff writer covering tech news.
