Real-time High-speed Lossless CompressionCVC for LiDAR (Radar & LiDAR Data Compression)

Real-time High-speed Lossless Compression Solution Optimized for Radar & LiDAR

Conventional methods:

  • Lower compression ratio and difficult to reduce data volume.
  • Run slow and take too long time to complete.
  • Processing speed highly depends on the type of input data.
  • Not suitable for embedded applications due to larger software size.
  • Freewares may involve ambiguous licenses and difficulty in maintenance.
  • Can be easily decompressed leading to concerns about security.
  • Difficult to implement into hardware.

CVC for LiDAR:

  • Offers higher compression ratio and more significant reduction in data volume than conventional methods.
  • Achieves overwhelmingly faster compression.
  • Features stable processing speed and virtually real-time processing.
  • Offers lightweight software implementation and can be run in an embedded microcomputer.
  • Proprietary data format means higher security.
  • Includes a free license for a dedicated library for decompression.
  • Can be implemented into hardware as well as supplied as FPGA IP.
  • License for large-scale production and extended maintenance are available.

CVC for LiDAR: Usage

CVC for LiDARの利用イメージ
  • To use CVC for LiDAR, it is necessary to control compression/decompression (make API calls) from a customer's software.
  • Data passing method for CVC for LiDAR is essentially memory to memory.
  • Allocation and management of the memories for original images and compressed images should be handled by a customer's software.

Supported environment:

  • Sensor devices: A wide variety of LiDARs and radars
  • OS: Windows, Linux, non-OS system and more
  • FPGA: Various types of XILINX and Intel devices
  • Data Format: 8-64bit integer type data (distance, reflectance, signal strength, status, etc.)
  • CPU: Intel family, ARM family, Renesas family and more
