Context-aware 3D sensing for real world infrastructure
PHAENOS develops a compact 3D sensing system based on LED illumination and standard cameras, extracting reliable depth information for environments where traditional LiDAR can be impractical or excessive.
Early prototype - open to pilot collaborations with infrastructure and construction partners.
About PHAENOS
PHAENOS is a deep-tech startup developing a physics-informed 3D sensing modality. Our goal is to bring reliable depth information to everyday environments such as roads, bridges, buildings and industrial sites, where conventional LiDAR can be unsuitable due to operational and deployment constraints.
The team combines expertise in laser physics, optics, electronics and embedded systems, with experience in European R&D projects and prototype deployment.
Technology
LED based depth sensing
Rather than relying on time-of-flight laser ranging, PHAENOS uses high power LEDs, a tailored optical design, and image-based acquisition to estimate depth and reconstruct 3D structure through physics-informed signal processing.
This approach keeps the optics and electronics simple, while targeting the performance required for monitoring and inspection rather than autonomous driving.
Key technical features
- Compact 3D sensor head with LED sources and monochrome camera.
- Physics-informed depth processing pipeline for structured 3D maps.
- Designed for integration on vehicles, robots or static installations.
- Designed for monitoring and inspection workflows (repeatability over raw speed).
Applications
Urban infrastructure
- Road and pavement condition assessment.
- Bridge and tunnel geometry monitoring.
- Support for digital twins of city assets.
Further use cases
- Construction and renovation monitoring.
- Industrial sites and logistics.
- Research and pilot projects in smart cities.
