Sunnyvale, Calif.-based Quanergy Systems Inc. has acquired Raytheon Co.’s Otus “people-tracking” software to team with its own lidar sensors for autonomous vehicle systems. Terms of the deal weren’t disclosed.
Otus, which was developed by Raytheon’s BBN Technologies unit, uses advanced algorithms to identify and track people in crowded environments. It has a range of more than 100 meters (328 ft) when used with Quanergy’s lidar (light detection and ranging) sensors.
Quanergy says the combined technology can more precisely map objects and relative distances between them. It also can work in any weather or lighting condition, including extreme smoke. Otus (named after a genus of owls) uses segmentation techniques such as background extraction, object clustering, “merge and split” algorithms and other advanced features to identify and track people, according to Raytheon.
Quanergy already uses the Otus technology in its Q-Guard perimeter fencing and intrusion detection systems. Delphi made an unspecified investment in Quanergy last year.
