GatedVisionTM provides a clear, complete, homogeneous, long-range imaging. Developed by Bright Way Vision, and protected by 26 patents, GatedVisionTM originates from military-grade vision technology adopted and qualified for the automotive industry.

GatedVision uses eye-safe NIR illumination pulses to generate ‘slices’ of the space ahead, while thousands of synchronized micro exposures of the gated camera build a complete illuminated image of the road ahead.

The camera sensor generates an image with the right amount of illumination in every range without affecting other ranges, and collects data from predetermined distances (slices) ahead of the vehicle while completely ignoring interferences along the way; such as rain, fog, mist, snow, and backscatter interference. When combined with the standard day camera already in every vehicle suite, the GatedVision camera system fulfils the vehicle perception requirements to see clearly night and day, and in any weather.

GatedVision, a Road-Proven Technology

Through complete darkness

Results:
Definite long-range pedestrian and animal (VRU) detection.

Through heavy rain (50mm/hr.) and darkness (rain chamber)

Results:
Clear long-range VRU detection with droplet-reflection suppression.

Through thick fog

Results:
All tested target-types identified throughout the entire range. Over three times the visibility range compared to a standard camera while eliminating fog backscatter

Through heavy snow

Results:
The bottom three frames correspond to three range slices. The upper right is a state-of-the-art reference camera and the top left is GatedVision.
