Innoviz Technologies, a specialist in high-performance LiDAR solutions, entered into a distribution agreement with The Indoor Lab, which develops non-automotive LiDAR analytics. Together they will deploy InnovizTwo LiDARs across the United States, beginning with Denver, Tampa, and Nashville international airports. This collaboration will enable airport partners with exceptional visibility and data analytics to help create a safer and more efficient environment for travellers, according to the companies.
According to the partners, deploying advanced 3D sensing tools within airport management is essential to ensure a smooth and secure travelling experience. The Indoor Lab is pioneering the shift from cameras to LiDAR-based solutions, providing higher-quality and exceptionally accurate data for stakeholders. By utilising InnovizTwo LiDARs for end-to-end airport operational and safety management using machine learning and AI capabilities, The Indoor Lab will be able to offer an accurate solution that identifies, classifies, and informs infrastructure and transit management professionals about potential challenges or threats that may occur. The LiDAR enables AI-based perception systems to interpret what cameras and other RF-based sensors cannot, therefore vastly improving safety across entry and exit points, tarmacs, baggage check, terminals and runways.
“As we enhance our safety portfolio of products in the transportation sector, we have found that InnovizTwo directional LiDAR sensors offer some of the highest point cloud density and frames per second. This capability enables our Artemis perception platform to deliver unparalleled products and services for our key airport partners,” said Patrick Blattner, founder and CEO of The Indoor Lab, a privately held, wholly owned US company and the only company in the world with a complete LiDAR-based enterprise perception platform.
“Safety is paramount, not only on roads but anywhere people gather, and our partnership with The Indoor Lab will ensure peace of mind for travellers,” said Omer Keilaf, CEO and co-founder of Innoviz Technologies. “Our dynamic and adaptable InnovizTwo platform is the perfect complement to Indoor Lab's AI-based data analytics capabilities and will help to create safer and more effective airports worldwide.”
