Foresight’s QuadSight™ Vision System Wins Prestigious 2019 CES Innovation Award
The quad-camera vision system provides autonomous vehicles near-100%
obstacle detection under all weather and lighting conditions with near
zero false alerts
NESS ZIONA, Israel–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#FRSX–Foresight Autonomous Holdings Ltd. (NASDAQ and TASE: FRSX), an innovator
in automotive vision systems, today announced that its QuadSight™
vision system has been named a 2019 CES
Innovation Award honoree in the Vehicle Intelligence and
Self-Driving Technology category. Foresight’s quad-camera vision system
was selected from a highly competitive pool of participating innovative
CES products. Foresight will offer a live demonstration of the
QuadSight™ vision system at CES 2019, held from January 8–11 at the
Westgate Las Vegas, booth #2206.
Focused on the stringent demands of autonomous vehicle vision needs,
QuadSight™ is designed to achieve near-100% obstacle detection with
near-zero false alerts under all weather and lighting conditions,
including complete darkness, snow, rain, fog, sandstorms and blinding
glare. Leveraging decades of field-proven security technology and highly
advanced image-processing algorithms, Foresight’s quad-camera technology
combines two pairs of long-wave infrared (LWIR) and visible-light
stereoscopic cameras to achieve an unprecedented performance standard
for autonomous vehicle vision.
“Developing safe autonomous vehicles is one of the great technical
challenges of our time, and it demands innovation in all aspects of
design and implementation,” said Haim Siboni, CEO of Foresight. “We are
honored that the CES Innovation Award judges have recognized the
far-reaching innovation required for the QuadSight™ system to achieve
vision perfection under all weather and lighting conditions.”
Essential for safety and reliability, stereoscopic vision technology
brings exceptional three-dimensional (3D) images for outstanding
detection and accuracy to semi-autonomous and autonomous vehicle vision
systems. While visible-light camera systems utilize the same or
sometimes less information compared to the human eye, LWIR imaging adds
another layer of information based on emitted waves. By combining
visible-light stereoscopic and thermal stereoscopic vision, QuadSight™
enables exceptional visual precision with 3D objects in real time,
whether the objects are large or small, in motion or static, or detected
from short or long distances.
At CES 2019, QuadSight™ will be demonstrated at Foresight’s booth #2206
at Westgate Las Vegas. Contact Foresight to schedule a demo.

As a winner of the Innovation Award, QuadSight™ will also be on display
at the CES Innovation Award Showcase in Tech West, The Venetian,
Venetian Ballroom E/F.
The CES Innovation Awards is an annual competition that recognizes two
levels of honorees across 28 product categories. A panel of judges,
including designers, engineers and members of the tech media, reviews
submissions based on design, functionality, consumer appeal, engineering
and how the products compare with competition. CES 2019 will showcase
more than 4,500 exhibiting companies, including manufacturers,
developers and suppliers of consumer technology hardware, content,
technology delivery systems and more.
