Modern autonomous vision systems rely on more than just powerful AI models—they depend on precise timing across sensors.

In this episode of Vision Vitals, we break down why real-time sensor fusion is critical for autonomous systems and how timing misalignment between cameras, LiDAR, radar, and IMUs can lead to unstable perception, depth errors, and tracking failures.

🎙️ Our vision intelligence expert explains:

• What real-time sensor fusion really means in autonomous vision
• How timing drift causes object instability and perception errors
• Why NVIDIA Jetson platforms act as the central time authority
• The role of GNSS, PPS, NMEA, and PTP in clock synchronization
• How deterministic camera triggering improves fusion reliability
• Why timing must be a day-one design decision, not a fix later
