Ubicept SPAD Evaluation Kit / Toolkit
Overview
Ubicept's SPAD Evaluation Kit is designed to evaluate next-generation SPAD imaging and perception for future products. It ships with FLARE gateware and Ubicept Photon Fusion (UPF), a physics-based method for reconstructing visual information from sparse or noisy measurements across time.
UPF works with both CMOS and SPAD sensors but is particularly well suited to SPAD data, where precise photon timing and zero read noise preserve information that conventional imaging loses. The kit is currently tested at 1,314 fps for high-speed motion, 0.05 lux for limited illumination and 160 dB for high dynamic range.
Alongside the evaluation kit, Ubicept offers a SPAD Toolkit and a CMOS Toolkit for offline and live processing of single-photon avalanche diode and CMOS videos. Because SPAD sensors overcome the read-noise and low-light limits of conventional sensors only when paired with the right processing, Ubicept's approach targets both new SPAD designs and existing CMOS platforms.
Key Benefits
Cleaner data for perception, on hardware you already have. Ubicept Photon Fusion extracts sharp, high-dynamic-range imagery from SPAD and conventional CMOS sensors, giving robotics and automotive perception developers a path to low-light and motion robustness without replacing the sensor.
Applications
Automotive night-time and HDR perception, robotics and autonomous navigation, low-light surveillance and inspection, and spatial-awareness systems that aggregate many camera streams.
