Simple to set up and robust are important benefits of Auriel Real-time. The system enables the recording and streaming of a full panoramic point cloud of its’ surroundings at permanent locations. The LiDAR point clouds are transmitted in real-time over ethernet.
The 360° view of the environment will include objects of interest such as vehicles, boats and people. The motion, quantity and direction of these objects can be determined, for example, a vehicle moving along a road or a person walking through a pedestrianised area.
The high resolution LiDAR data is GDPR compliant. It does not identify specific features of an object, in contrast to imagery / video which requires additional processing to achieve anonymity. For example, with LiDAR you cannot identify an individual or a car registration.
Auriel Real-time is designed and manufactured in Scotland to withstand harsh environmental conditions at permanent outdoor installations. The LiDAR data collected has a variety of applications.
Auriel Real-time incorporates edge computing. The system converts the raw LiDAR data into a point cloud and undertakes data reduction and filtering before streaming. This real-time filtering prior to transmission ensures the data payload is kept to a minimum to enable efficient data transfer. The streamed data is typically sent to a server to enable further post processing and analysis using a software application such as Purepoint Pro.

Advantages of permanent installations for data collection
- Enables long-term analysis of trends providing richer, more reliable datasets.
- Once installed the system provides continuous data without the need for regular adjustments.
- Can be merged with other management or data collection systems for enhanced efficiency.
- Dedicated power sources and protection from external factors allows for a longer operational life.
