Traditional radar waveforms are single frequency, repeating, and non-adaptive. The only way to create multiple waveforms is to add more receivers.
The Virtual Aperture Imaging waveform is adaptive and phase modulated. Each receiver generates a different phase response at a different time. Then it interpolates and extrapolates data to create a “Virtual Aperture.”
With traditional radar, the resolution is dependent on the number of antennas. This means performance is fixed and that more hardware - more antennas, more processing, increased size, and additional costs - are needed to achieve higher resolution.
Radar with Oculii’s Virtual Aperture Imaging software uses software intelligence to enhance resolution and sensitivity. That means the sensor is always improving as the software scales exponentially with more and more data.
Additional antennas increase performance linearly, but cost, size, and power increase exponentially – limiting how many antennas can be used in a commercial radar sensor.
Oculii’s Adaptive Virtual AI Software achieves higher resolution with more compute and data – scaling with Moore’s Law to deliver higher resolution and longer range, while becoming cheaper and more cost effective.

Oculii's virtual imaging platform is hardware-agnostic and highly modular. It can run on any radar hardware platform to increase performance, providing a scalable perception solution from advanced driver assistance systems to fully autonomous systems. Combine Oculii software with Oculii hardware and central processors to build even more powerful systems.
Precise doppler and angle information enables the sensor to accurately map the environment and and localize itself relative to where it’s been. This is a critical function in both robotics and autonomous vehicles. This enables smarter positioning and safer navigation.
Oculii’s high resolution point cloud data can be fused with other sensors, such as cameras and lidar, at the raw detection level. Systems can get the best out of all sensors, in all weather conditions and situations.
