New infrared camera aims to enhance safety in autonomous driving

The camera in action: Despite the headlights, the pedestrian at the side of the road is barely visible. Only the thermal imaging camera makes him clearly visible. Credit: Fraunhofer IOF Fall is here, bringing rain, fog, and early darkness. For road users, this means heightened caution, as visibility conditions increasingly deteriorate. Thermal imaging cameras that can reliably detect people even in poor or limited visibility conditions can ensure greater safety here. This is particularly true for autonomous vehicles where there may not be a human constantly observing the road...
