ADLINK and TIER IV provide hardware and software integrated turn-key solutions based on Autoware* and ROS 1/2 for visual perception in autonomous driving applications.

The integration of TIER IV C1/C2 Automotive HDR Camera and ADLINK RQX-58G AI-based Perception ECU has been pre-tested, pre-verified and pre-configured, allowing users to develop their visual perception solution without any complex processes, and ensuring accurate imaging results for autonomous driving applications.

Sensor Fusion & Synchronization
With the integration of TIER IV's C1/C2 cameras and ADLINK's RQX-58G AI-based Perception ECU, cameras can be trigged and controlled separately and the image data from multiple cameras can be perfectly synchronized with LiDAR data to achieve sensor fusion. Not only can the solution be used for image recognition in perception tasks, but it can also compress and transmit image data for remote monitoring.
