SENSR Architecture
SENSR is built with a modular architecture enabling large scale installations with hundreds of LiDARs along with simple setups limited to a single LiDAR.
Elements
SENSR is made of both Master nodes and Algo nodes that carry the following functions:
- Master node: Oversees the overall processing, merges the perception result of each algo node, manages user interfaces and data output,
- Algo node: Locally processes LiDAR data within a given geographical location.
- Algo node is the minimal unit that can be applied with different parameters. In other words, you can separate and designate Algo nodes according to the characteristics of the environment you want to observe (areas with many vehicles, areas with only pedestrians, areas with low sensor installation density, etc). Please note that too much separation of Algo nodes may cause a heavy load on the master node.
- Multiple Algo nodes can be created in a single machine.
