AUTOMOTIVE LENSES

Automotive lenses are developed by SUPERIOR® Optics, in anticipation of the advent of the autonomous driving society. SUPERIOR® optics are used by many of the major companies in the automotive industry.

Automotive lens assemblies are used by automobile manufacturers in robotic equipment on their automated assembly line and also inside their vehicles. Automotive lenses are used for back up cameras, and other location-sensing devices. SUPERIOR® Optics offers a wide range of lenses for automotive applications. Automotive lenses are suitable for automotive applications, as well other high-resolution vision applications. You will find Optics News articles relating to the automotive sector at the bottom of this webpage.

Contributing to a Safe and Secure Automotive Society Through Advanced Precision Optical Technology – Automotive Lenses

As more sophisticated detection capabilities are necessary for sensors utilized in autonomous driving and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS/ADAD), we continue to take on the challenge of creating high-specification automotive lenses that serve as “eyes” of these sensors.

With a view towards creating a safe and secure automotive society, our goal is to contribute towards solving social issues such as traffic accidents and increased congestion by offering SUPERIOR Optics’ products used by image sensors and LiDAR that support preventive safety and autonomous driving. Autonomous driving uses a variety of sensors to detect the surrounding environment and the driver’s condition in order to control the car’s movement.

Technology that Serves as the “Eyes” – Automotive Lenses of Autonomous Driving

Automotive sensing camera with automotive lenses play an essential role in autonomous driving. They detect vehicles, pedestrians and traffic signs. Based on digital images captured by cameras and accurately controlling the car.

The camera cannot detect images when there is no visibility or direct light shining on the camera. LiDAR, a light sensor technology, can be used to measure distances to objects by measuring disturbance and reflected lights compared to laser irradiation.

We are developing and manufacturing automotive lenses for LiDAR as well as for sensing cameras.

Applications:

Meet the demands of various ADAS applications: Lane Departure Warning, Lane Departure Warning, Forward Collision Warning/Avoidance, Traffic Sigh Recogntion;

Meet the demands of in-cabin applications: Intelligent Gesture Recognition, Driver Monitoring System (DMS), Occupant Monitoring System (OMS);

Parking be more convenient: Automatic Parking, Paking Assistant;

Reduce blind spots: Intelligent CMS

Superior provides free of charge consulting about Lenses, and Optical Components. In addition we offer a wide range of optical products.
