Apertix is an AI-powered radar software solution that transforms low-channel-count conventional radar into a high-resolution perception sensor without hardware changes. Radar perception has traditionally been hardware-driven. Apertix shifts radar innovation from hardware to software by processing radar spectrum data with AI, enabling existing radar hardware to perceive the surrounding environment with greater detail and accuracy. Apertix enhances the radar’s angular resolution and enables advanced perception capabilities, including object detection, occupancy estimation, and free-space detection. These capabilities deliver imaging-radar-level perception performance at one-quarter the cost of comparable imaging radar solutions. Built for the Software-Defined Vehicle (SDV) era, Apertix turns conventional radar into a Software-Defined Radar. It makes radar perception continuously upgradeable through over-the-air software updates, enabling automakers to expand perception capabilities without hardware redesign.
