About

NODAR builds long-range 3D vision technology that turns pairs of standard automotive cameras into a high-resolution depth sensor. Its patented auto-calibration software keeps two widely separated cameras aligned on a moving, flexing vehicle, allowing stereo triangulation at distances up to roughly 1,000 meters. The company positions this as an alternative to LiDAR for perception in autonomous vehicles and other autonomous machines. NODAR was founded in 2018 by MIT-trained engineers and is backed by New Enterprise Associates and Rhapsody Venture Partners.

Auto-calibration algorithms let cameras be mounted far apart on a vehicle without rigid fixturing, producing dense long-range 3D point clouds from commodity cameras rather than from LiDAR hardware, and holding up in weather, dust, and vibration.

Automotive perception software / 3D sensing platform

A 3D vision platform that produces dense depth maps and point clouds from two independently mounted standard cameras with a wide baseline across the vehicle.

  • Depth mapping to approximately 1,000 meters
  • Patented auto-calibration for cameras that shift and vibrate in use
  • Dense high-resolution 3D point clouds rather than sparse returns

Built for

Automotive OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers building driver-assistance and autonomous driving systems, plus operators of autonomous machinery in aviation, mining, construction, rail, maritime, and agriculture.
