AptCore have successfully demonstrated their beam steering radar as part of DSTL’s SAPIENT project. The SAPIENT system includes autonomous sensor modules from several suppliers, and a central controller. The system integration and project management was lead by QinetiQ who also supplied the PTZ camera for the system. The AptCore radar Autonomous Sensor Module utilises ACR102...
AptCore have released a new processor core optimised for optical flow operations. The new core is targeted towards image processing and machine vision, and possesses design features that will particularly suit automotive usage. Utilising AptCore’s unique processor architecture and data access structure, the core can achieve close to 100% efficiency for Lucas-Kanade optical flow, a technique...
24th September 2015 – AptCore successfully demonstrated an autonomous sensing unit utilising a newly developed MIMO radar front end combined with an ACR102 processor. The unit is able to reliably track and identify objects within its field of view and autonomously adjust its transmit beam-shape and power to optimise for the ambient conditions. The system...

AptCore have released a new processor core optimised for pixel based operations. The core targets image processing and machine vision, and possesses design features that will particularly suit automotive usage. Utilising AptCore’s unique processor architecture and data access structure, the core can achieve close to 100% efficiency for its target applications, including Harris Corner Detect,...
16 June 2014 – AptCore successfully demonstrated a radar based security system using its ACR1 processor architecture implemented on an FPGA. The system utilises a 24GHz Radar front end, together with an ARM processor and AptCore ACR102 core implemented on a Xilinx Zynq 7020 device. The radar system was able to accurately determine range, direction,...
AptCore has won funding from the Technology Strategy Board to demonstrate a solar powered traffic monitor unit using its ground-breaking ACR101 DSP core. The ACR101 core is ideally suited to traffic monitor applications, providing ultimate power efficiency for radar processing.
AptCore has successfully conducted live testing of its ACR102 processor core in an automotive collision avoidance application. A series of tests were conducted at MIRA’s UK test circuit, with a range of vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians. An FMCW radar collision avoidance system, utilising AptCore’s low power ACR102 processor core, was installed in a test vehicle....
