lidar technical

"Innoviz Technologies Announces First Sensor-Fusion Colored 3D LiDAR and Camera"

Lidar, which stands for Light Detection and Ranging, is a technology that uses laser beams to create detailed, three-dimensional maps of the environment. It works like a sophisticated eye that measures distances by bouncing light off objects, helping machines see and understand their surroundings. For investors, lidar is important because it enables advancements in autonomous vehicles, robotics, and mapping, which can drive innovation and growth in related industries.

oem financial

"The solution simplifies OEM sensor integration, sensor-fusion, streamlining packaging"

OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer, which is a company that produces parts or components used in the final products made by other companies. For investors, understanding OEMs is important because their performance can impact the supply chain and overall success of major industries, especially those relying on specialized parts. Think of OEMs as the suppliers that provide the building blocks for larger products, like the engine parts for a car.

sensor-fusion technical

"The solution simplifies OEM sensor integration, sensor-fusion, streamlining packaging"

Sensor-fusion is the process of combining data from multiple sensors—like cameras, radar, and GPS—to create a single, clearer picture of the environment, similar to how your brain blends sight, sound and touch to understand a scene. For investors, it matters because better fusion can improve a product’s accuracy, reliability and safety, enable advanced features, reduce false alarms, and become a competitive differentiator that affects costs, adoption and revenue potential.

TEL AVIV, Israel, Jan. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Innoviz Technologies Ltd. (Nasdaq: INVZ) (the "Company" or "Innoviz"), a leading Tier-1 direct supplier of high-performance, automotive-grade LiDAR sensor platforms and complementary software stacks, announced today the first fully colored long range LiDAR with camera in its recently announced InnovizThree LiDAR, creating a compact sensor-fusion module designed to significantly reduce OEM integration complexity. The solution combines LiDAR and RGB sensing in a single compact perception module, purpose-built for behind-the-windshield installations, drones, micro-robotics and humanoids. The consolidation of an RGB camera inside InnovizThree reinforces Innoviz's commitment to scalable, OEM-friendly sensor-fusion perception solutions designed for series production and long-term deployment with the potential to enable faster deployment and cost saving.

 

 

"We recently announced the InnovizThree, our newest compact design which is 60% smaller than our InnovizTwo LiDAR. Being able to include RGB capabilities within the same small form factor is, I believe, yet another example of how Innoviz is spearheading the LiDAR sector. Innoviz remains committed to delivering a perception platform that is not only high-performance, but also affordable and practical to integrate at scale," said Omer Keilaf, CEO and Founder of Innoviz Technologies. "By adding color capabilities directly into our LiDAR, we are giving OEMs a cleaner, more efficient path to multi-sensor perception, without compromising vehicle design or manufacturability. A fully colored InnovizThree is an amazing new tool which has the potential to unlock new growing sectors such as drones, micro-robotics and humanoids "

The RGB sensing capabilities are factory-aligned with the LiDAR, with an ability to ensure precise and consistent Visual-to-LiDAR geometry across production units. This alignment, combined with hardware-synchronized capture, will enable reliable multi-modal sensor-fusion data correlation while reducing calibration effort during vehicle integration. Delivered through a single integration interface, the solution will minimize wiring, interfaces, and system complexity. This approach will reduce the overall integration burden for OEMs, which is expected to enable simpler validation processes, optimized engineering effort, lower cost and faster time-to-production.
