Cepton’s directional Vista®-series MMT® lidars provide dense, forward-looking beam patterns, in contrast to a 360° distributed pattern in rotational lidars
Superior performance compared to rotational lidars, with affordable pricing
More dense coverage across the vertical field of view
Much higher PPS and overall angular resolution across comparable HFOV
Higher range + better resolution = superior object detection & classification
32-channel lidar: Much more expensive than Vista -P60, with significant gaps in VFOV
Vista®-P60 showing denser, more uniform point coverage on vehicles, roads and roadside objects
Within a comparable HFOV, Cepton’s directional lidars provide much higher point densities
Most market applications do not require 360° HFOV lidars
Directional lidars don’t waste points, i.e., firing into sky or walls
Higher resolution (PPS) enables better object detection and classification at a comparable nominal lidar range
High range for smart infrastructure applications (70-120 m @ 10%) enables better object detection and classification at longer distances compared to similar or higher priced rotational lidars
