Hyperion 8.1 Sensor Specifications

Cameras
A mix of wide-angle fisheye cameras for near vision, paired with high-fidelity wide and tele 8MP cameras for detecting longer distances.
Lidars
Front center automotive-grade lidar for an additional layer of redundant vision, as well as a rooftop high-resolution lidar for ground-truth (GT) data collection
Radars
Multiple radars for overlapping front, side, and corner visibility and redundancy, with increased angular and vertical resolution for complex urban driving.

USS / RCS
Ultrasonic sensors for parking space measurement and maneuvers. Road condition sensors for assessing road wetness to adapt vehicle dynamics control.
Cameras
Please contact the third-party vendor below for obtaining these camera modules. The software for these cameras are integrated into NVIDIA DRIVE? SDK and work out-of-the-box. The SDK compatibility information indicates the latest release that includes camera support. The software for NVIDIA-supported cameras includes optimally tuned ISP settings. Any customizations to this support will require further discussions and development agreements. Please contact your NVIDIA representative for more details.
