Overview

Leddar Vu8 solid-state LiDAR sensors offer affordable

detection and ranging performance in a small, robust form

factor over distances up to 185 m.

Leveraging LeddarTech’s unique expertise in LiDAR

detection and ranging, every Vu8 sensor contains our

proprietary Leddar technology. The patented Leddar

signal processing algorithms efficiently acquire,

sequence and digitally process light signals, significantly

improving solid-state LiDAR sensitivity, immunity to

ambient light variations, and performance in inclement

weather.

This unique built-in processing ability allows for rapid delivery

of accurate measurements and extends range and

measurement capabilities. Additionally, it provides superior

lateral discrimination, as well as the critical capability to

detect and track multiple objects simultaneously in the

sensor’s field of view (FOV).

Vu8 Configurations

Weighing only 128.5 grams or less, Leddar Vu8 modules use

a fixed light source, which significantly increases the

sensor’s robustness and cost-efficiency as compared to any

scanning LiDAR solution.

The Vu8 leverages powerful laser illumination (class 1, eye-

safe) and a wide FOV separated into eight distinct detection

segments within a single sensor, resulting in rapid,

continuous and accurate detection and ranging of

objects—including lateral discrimination—along the

entire length of the wide beam, without any moving

parts.

The Vu8 source assembly consists of a 905 nm laser emitter

combined with diffractive optics, providing a wide

illumination beam that is available in various horizontal

FOV configurations from 20 to 100 degrees (each available

in different vertical FOVs). The receiver assembly includes

eight independent detection elements with

simultaneous multi-object measurement capabilities

supported by powerful Leddar signal processing

algorithms.

Integration and Interfaces

All Vu8 modules come with a software development kit, the

Leddar Enabler SDK, which provides a user-friendly

application programming interface (API) with .NET and C

libraries complete with code examples and sample code for

Windows and Linux. Two interface configurations are

available: SPI or USB-CAN-Serial (UART/RS-485).
