Purchasing opportunity for sensor fusion technologies

The opportunity to complement your software stack in 2024

BASELABS, the specialist in sensor fusion technologies, will cease operations in 2024. For this reason, BASELABS offers a purchasing opportunity for its technologies in environment perception for automated driving. This includes full usage rights as well as services like training and support. The technologies suit safety-critical applications in highly automated systems like Level 4 vehicles and advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS)​​. Two technologies are for sale: BASELABS Dynamic Grid and BASELABS Create Embedded.

BASELABS was acquired by Vector Informatik in 2023. The acquisition enabled the separate sale of BASELABS’ technologies to interested parties. In 2023, multiple OEMs, Tier1, and a sensor supplier successfully purchased technology licenses. In 2024, licenses with unlimited usage rights can still be purchased. After this, BASELABS will cease operations by the end of 2024 at the latest.

Success Stories

German Tier 1 ensures safety compliance for its L4 system in automated trucks.
Complementing their AI-based AV stack with the BASELABS Dynamic Grid enabled an ASIL D for the overall L4 system.

An Asian OEM successfully introduced a safety ADAS function into a production vehicle.​ The customer picked BASELABS due to the performance of its sensor fusion: “Lower false alarm rate than with the competition.“

US OEM achieved production-readiness for L2 ADAS systems including safety certification.​ BASELABS software was used for both prototyping and production implementation according to ISO26262 within months.​ Overall impression: “The team loves the software.“

Japanese Tier 1 massively accelerated the development cycle for its environmental models:​ “We are impressed by the results within this short amount of time.“

​A German Tier 1 with a multitude of ADAS applications and many sensor setup variations.
The customer appreciated the modularity of the BASELABS software that allows convenient adaptation to future requirements and excellent maintainability: “We like the way BASELABS realized sensor fusion. It feels right.“

Why is it beneficial to own sensor fusion technologies?

BASELABS Dynamic Grid enables safe automated driving

BASELABS Dynamic Grid is a cutting-edge low-level sensor fusion technology crucial for high-resolution sensors in automated driving systems. It is designed to enhance safety and operational capabilities in highly automated systems. 

Challenges addressed:

Consistent environmental model

Overcomes the high information loss and inconsistencies in standard object fusion, ensuring consistent environment representation and accurate driving decisions.

Unknown objects detection

Capable of detecting objects of unknown type and/or shape, a critical safety feature not met by AI-based perception systems alone.

Key features:

Advanced safety architecture

Acts as a safety channel for automated driving, allowing for broader operational design domains (ODD) such as higher speeds and more intricate driving scenarios.

Superior detection performance

Delivers exceptional detection accuracy with minimal false alarms, crucial for safety-critical applications.

High-resolution sensor integration

Ideal for integrating with high-resolution sensors like LiDAR, semantic cameras, and radar.

Ready for series production

The Dynamic Grid has been developed according to ISO26262 and is certified for systems/modules rated up to ASIL B. It has been refined through multiple development projects with leading industry partners and is set for immediate series production use​​. 

Runs on Automotive CPUs

Though that powerful, the algorithms are optimized to run on typical automotive CPUs, e.g. ARM Cortex-A78. A GPU is not required.

Documentation and qualification

Thoroughly documented and qualified according to Automotive SPICE (ASPICE) standards.

Development and validation infrastructure

Includes complete infrastructure for development and validation as well as all process artifacts necessary for series production and further development.

BASELABS Create Embedded is the foundation for ADAS roadmaps

BASELABS Create Embedded is a robust object-level sensor fusion technology designed explicitly for ADAS functions. It is built to operate on cost-effective automotive hardware and supports a wide range of sensors. 

Enhanced probabilistic algorithms combine the data from multiple sensors to effectively… 

Key aspects:

Proven track record

In production since 2019, this technology has been successfully employed in various use cases and sensor configurations, demonstrating its flexibility and reliability.

Optimized for ADAS

Directly enables highest NCAP ratings for ADAS functions, making it a valuable asset in developing automated driving systems.

Sensor compatibility

Supports integration with cameras, radar, and LiDAR sensors.

Runs on cost-effective hardware

The algorithms are optimized to run on typical automotive CPUs, e.g. ARM Cortex-A5x or Infineon Aurix.

Functional Safety Certification

Certified for functional safety in systems/modules rated up to ASIL B (ISO 26262).

Documentation and qualification

Thoroughly documented and qualified according to Automotive SPICE (ASPICE) standards.

Development and validation infrastructure

Includes complete infrastructure for development and validation as well as all process artifacts necessary for series production and further development.
