The mission with this client was an innovative project to develop an industrial process for LiDAR and a camera behind a windshield calibration. Our partner is the main multinational in the glass industry that supplies nearly all the big car manufacturers with a wide range of windows and new glass technologies, for different sectors in the automotive industry. Car manufacturers are integrating LiDAR and Camera sensors behind the windshield. If these sensors are already intrinsically calibrated, the glass affects the optical properties of optoelectronic technologies, with light saturation, signal distortion, and error measurements. ALTEN’s involvement in this project was benchmarking LiDAR analysis as a preliminary step to design and industrialize a calibration method. ALTEN helped the glass manufacturer by providing them with an expert in automotive LiDAR sensors and algorithm implementations. ALTEN ACTIVITIES
