Summary: Innoviz Technologies has added fully colored RGB sensing to its InnovizThree LiDAR, creating a compact LiDAR-camera fusion module designed for behind-the-windshield automotive installations, as well as drones, micro-robotics, and humanoids. The combined module reduces OEM integration complexity by consolidating LiDAR and camera sensing into a single, factory-aligned, hardware-synchronized unit. This approach enables reliable multi-modal perception while minimizing calibration, wiring, and system complexity.
Key engineering takeaway: The integration of RGB sensing directly into InnovizThree ensures precise Visual-to-LiDAR alignment across production units and simplifies sensor-fusion workflows. A single interface for both LiDAR and camera data reduces integration burden, streamlines validation, and lowers engineering effort and system complexity.
Why it matters: By combining LiDAR and RGB in a compact, OEM-friendly module, Innoviz supports faster, cost-efficient deployment of multi-sensor perception systems. This enables automotive and robotics developers to accelerate development, reduce vehicle integration challenges, and scale sensor-fusion solutions for a variety of applications.
Innoviz Technologies Ltd. (Nasdaq: INVZ) (the “Company” or “Innoviz”), a leading Tier-1 direct supplier of high-performance, automotive-grade LiDAR sensor platforms and complementary software stacks, announced today the first fully colored long range LiDAR with camera in its recently announced InnovizThree LiDAR, creating a compact sensor-fusion module designed to significantly reduce OEM integration complexity. The solution combines LiDAR and RGB sensing in a single compact perception module, purpose-built for behind-the-windshield installations, drones, micro-robotics and humanoids. The consolidation of an RGB camera inside InnovizThree reinforces Innoviz’s commitment to scalable, OEM-friendly sensor-fusion perception solutions designed for series production and long-term deployment with the potential to enable faster deployment and cost saving.
“We recently announced the InnovizThree, our newest compact design which is 60% smaller than our InnovizTwo LiDAR. Being able to include RGB capabilities within the same small form factor is, I believe, yet another example of how Innoviz is spearheading the LiDAR sector. Innoviz remains committed to delivering a perception platform that is not only high-performance, but also affordable and practical to integrate at scale,” said Omer Keilaf, CEO and Founder of Innoviz Technologies. “By adding color capabilities directly into our LiDAR, we are giving OEMs a cleaner, more efficient path to multi-sensor perception, without compromising vehicle design or manufacturability. A fully colored InnovizThree is an amazing new tool which has the potential to unlock new growing sectors such as drones, micro-robotics and humanoids “
The RGB sensing capabilities are factory-aligned with the LiDAR, with an ability to ensure precise and consistent Visual-to-LiDAR geometry across production units. This alignment, combined with hardware-synchronized capture, will enable reliable multi-modal sensor-fusion data correlation while reducing calibration effort during vehicle integration. Delivered through a single integration interface, the solution will minimize wiring, interfaces, and system complexity. This approach will reduce the overall integration burden for OEMs, which is expected to enable simpler validation processes, optimized engineering effort, lower cost and faster time-to-production.
