Augmented LiDAR© Software

Description
Specifications

The Augmented LiDAR© Software is a real-time 3D LiDAR preprocessing software which is delivered in a ready to use box for convenience and a seamless integration experience.

The purpose of the Augmented LiDAR© processing unit is to deliver an actionable stream of data for applications requiring real-time Spatial Intelligence in dynamic environments, such as airports.

For the biggest airport groups worldwide, Outsight used the Augmented LiDAR© Software to generate actionable information (in the form of a real-time dashboard) and manage the flow and density of objects and people in several airport functionalities, including passport control, baggage tracking and delivery, check-in queues, social distancing for covid-19 testing.

Augmented LiDAR Software for Airports

The main input of these applications is point-cloud data from a LiDAR device providing at least range and intensity information. Optional IMU can be used if it is natively available as an embedded feature in your particular LiDAR model.

The output of the Augmented LiDAR© box is organised in 5 different processing layers:

Features Stack

  • Edge computing (performing system configuration and control),
  • SLAM on Chip© (localisation & mapping),
  • Point-wise Perception (providing raw enriched data)
  • Object tracking (object-level data).
  • Application primitives (out-of-the-box features that simplify high-level applications).

The final output application for airports is a Spatial Intelligence Platform, a live dashboard, where one can follow real-time aggregated KPIs as well as observe and track moving objects in different airport areas.

Additionally, the customer can set up the map’s view in several modes (2D, 3D, Patrol Zone), construct zones of interest (to track KPIs in a particular area of the airport), manage/customize KPIs to meet various demands, and generate reports (to be shared with other members of the team).

Outsight software enables increased operational awareness and efficiency by giving operators of major facilities real-time insights about people flow and asset use.

These insights are possible at a scale and level of detail never before possible thanks to LiDAR and the exceptional performance of Outsight’s software solutions: tens of thousands of simultaneous objects and travellers can be tracked with a precision of a few centimetres across large areas, such as several Terminals.

Here are some requirements met by Outsight’s Augmented LiDAR© Software to achieve operational excellence in Spatial Intelligence solutions:

  1. Ability to monitor wide areas of many square metres, at different levels, from Parking to Departures and Arrivals
  2. Ability to extract instantaneous and aggregatable KPI data, where the right KPIs can be set by the users, easily accessible from any web browser.
  3. Ability to be scalable and future-proof, since employing, integrating, and combining various sensors from different manufacturers is essential for both immediate and long-term success.
  4. Ability to manage the whole project lifecycle. As the project evolves and the solution becomes increasingly interconnected to other airport systems, only open API solutions with standard protocols can guarantee the required flexibility.
