DENSO Develops New Safety Products for New 2018 Lexus LS

DENSO Corporation designs and develops the technology helping
drivers safely navigate the roads. Today, the company announced two
new products to be incorporated in the new 2018 Lexus LS, which
will be released in Japan and U.S. after this fall. A new stereo
vision sensor and millimeter-wave radar sensor will help improve
safety performance of vehicles by more precisely detecting
obstacles and lane lines on roads.
The stereo vision sensor uses 3D image processing techniques called
"dense stereo matching" to detect obstacles of different shapes,
including pedestrians, vehicles, and guardrails, as well as empty
road spaces marked by lane lines. This enables autonomous emergency
braking and automatic steering control to avoid obstacles. The
product's highly sophisticated cameras can also better detect
pedestrians at night.
The new millimeter-wave radar sensor provides higher pedestrian
detection performance in a more compact module. More frequent radio
waves emission also detects obstacles with higher sensitivity,
particularly pedestrians approaching from the sides. Furthermore,
the product's radar beam can be emitted over a wider angular range,
without requiring a mechanism to adjust the angle, as with previous
versions. This reduces its size by 60 percent compared to
conventional radar sensors, thereby allowing for easier
installation.
DENSO develops technologies and products that are core to helping
create a society free from traffic accidents. Products like these
will help deliver a safe and secure automotive society for all
people around the world.
