About

LeddarTech operates as a software provider specializing in advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous driving (AD). The company offers comprehensive raw data fusion and perception solutions that enable automotive manufacturers (OEMs) and their suppliers (Tier-1-2) to overcome major hurdles in environmental sensing and interpretation. Its flagship technology, LeddarVision™, is an automotive-grade, scalable, and sensor-agnostic software platform that generates highly accurate 3D models of the vehicle's surroundings. Additionally, LeddarTech has developed LeddarSim™, an advanced simulator that uses AI to reconstruct real-world driving scenarios. This approach allows for the training, testing, and validation of perception models with high realism, thereby reducing the gap between simulation and real-world conditions and accelerating the deployment of safer, more reliable driving systems.

LeddarVision

LeddarVision™ est une technologie logicielle de qualité automobile qui effectue la fusion de données brutes à bas niveau. Agnostique aux capteurs, elle est conçue pour fournir des modèles environnementaux 3D très précis pour les applications ADAS et AD.

LeddarVision™ is LeddarTech's fusion and perception software solution, designed for advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous driving (AD). This automotive-grade technology is scalable, supporting applications from Level 2/2+ up to Level 3 to 5 autonomy. Its key differentiator is its sensor-agnostic approach, allowing it to process and fuse raw data from various combinations of cameras, radars, and LiDARs. By operating at the raw data level, LeddarVision creates a unified and highly accurate 3D environmental model, which is critical for robust perception in complex driving scenarios. The solution is offered as a cost-effective platform for OEMs and Tier-1-2 suppliers, enabling them to accelerate the development and deployment of active safety and autonomous driving features without being locked into a specific hardware configuration.
It means the LeddarVision software can process raw data from different types and combinations of sensors (cameras, radars, LiDAR), without being tied to a specific hardware setup, thus offering greater flexibility to developers.
LeddarVision is a scalable solution that offers products for Level 2 and 2+ ADAS systems, as well as solutions for higher levels of autonomy from 3 to 5.

LeddarSim

LeddarSim™ est un simulateur avancé pour les systèmes ADAS et AD qui utilise l'IA et la reconstruction neuronale pour générer des scénarios de conduite photoréalistes à partir de données du monde réel. Il permet de tester et de valider les systèmes de perception avec une haute fidélité.

LeddarSim™ is a simulation platform designed to close the gap between virtual testing and real-world performance for ADAS and autonomous driving systems. Unlike traditional simulators based on synthetic, gaming-like environments, LeddarSim uses neural reconstruction techniques, such as Gaussian splatting, to recreate realistic driving scenes from real sensor data. This data-driven approach allows for the generation of high-fidelity, multi-modal simulation data (camera, radar, LiDAR). Developers can test millions of configurable scenarios, including rare and dangerous edge cases (fog, unexpected pedestrians), safely and cost-effectively. LeddarSim aims to accelerate development cycles, reduce data collection costs by over 90% compared to real-world testing, and improve the validation of complex perception systems.
LeddarSim uses real-world video footage to reconstruct scenarios, generating a multi-modal output (LiDAR, radar, camera) that is true to reality. Traditional simulators often use synthetic environments, which creates a significant validation gap with the real world.
Key use cases include testing different sensor configurations, simulating rare actors (animals, cyclists), simulating environmental variables (weather, signage), and modeling ego-vehicle behavior (lane changes, speed adjustments).
No, LeddarSim automatically generates realistic scenarios from real-world data without the overhead of manual scene reconstruction or 3D environment modeling.
