Case Study: Luminar achieves safer autonomous vehicle perception with CloudFactory

Luminar launches Hydra and reaches 250m LiDAR range with CloudFactory

Luminar, an autonomous vehicle sensor company, faced the challenge of needing ultra-precise 3D image annotation for its LiDAR perception technology. The complexity of labeling every element in an image, from objects to oddities, was beyond the capabilities of standard outsourcing providers. Luminar turned to CloudFactory and its Computer Vision Managed Workforce to achieve the high-quality, consistent data annotation required for safety-critical autonomous vehicle systems.

CloudFactory implemented a solution using an agile pilot program with customized training and a sprint-based approach for continuous feedback. This resulted in a highly trained workforce that delivered the complex annotations Luminar required. The partnership enabled Luminar to successfully launch its Hydra product, achieving its goal of a LiDAR sensor with a 250m range and significantly advancing safety in the autonomous vehicle industry.
