Velodyne presents its latest range of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) equipped with real-time, 3D LiDAR sensors.

 It was during the Small Unmanned Systems Business Exposition (sUSB Expo) today in San Francisco, Velodyne’s Wolfgang Juchmann has showcased the advantages of its compact and
lightweight HDL-32E LiDAR sensors for use on UAV’s.

During a live demonstration of the technology, Connectikpeople has experienced hands-on 3D data capturing.

Connectikpeople may recall that, Velodyne’s presentation focused on recent advancements of combining the mobility of UAV’s cost-effective aerial transportation platforms with established mapping technologies like Time-of-Flight 3D LiDAR.

About Velodyne LiDAR.

Velodyne, located in California’s Silicon Valley, established its roots over 30 years ago. The company’s LiDAR division evolved after founder and inventor, David Hall, competed in the 2004-05 DARPA Grand Challenge utilizing stereo-vision technology. Based on his experience during this challenge, David Hall recognized the limitations of stereo-vision and developed the HDL64 high-resolution LiDAR sensor. More recently, Velodyne has released a smaller, lightweight HDL32 sensor, available for many applications. Since its first commercial sale in 2007, Velodyne’s LiDAR division has emerged as the leading developer of real-time 3D LiDAR sensor technology. Velodyne continues to build on its iconic history by introducing groundbreaking technology and design. As an all-encompassing technology company, Velodyne also consists of an Audio division and Marine division.
