Project description
Advanced long-range laser technology supports autonomous vehicles
Sensing and imaging technologies enable us to discover and uncover things we could not see with our eyes alone. From bacteria on a slide and tissues in the body to weapons in an airport or speeding cars on the highway, sensing and imaging play an essential role in health, security and safety. As the world moves into the era of autonomous vehicles on land and in the sea and air, long-range, high-speed 3D imaging is a necessity for autonomous control. The EU-funded FRESCO project is overcoming challenges to one of the most promising continuous-wave laser technologies with an eye on the development of compact and scalable next-generation sensors for autonomous transport applications.
