www.velodynelidar.com What is LiDAR?
Light Detection And Ranging
3D LiDAR Sensors: laser-based technology providing real-time, actual measured distances & intensity values in 3D
True 3D multibeam laser sensors capturing a 3D world in real-time
www.velodynelidar.com LiDAR Principle & Advantage
• Multiple Rotating Lasers & Detectors – Up to 64 channels at 20Hz • Time of Flight Distance Measurements – Range of .5m – 200m • Calibrated Reflectivities – Natural Reflectivities, Warehouse Reflectors, Street signs, Lane markings, License plates
• Wide Field of View – Horizontal: 360°; Vertical: 40°
• Data Rich and Relevant – Up to 2.2 million points/sec – Computer friendly XYZ data
www.velodynelidar.com LiDAR Principle & Advantage
• Dual Return technology offered by Velodyne’s LiDAR sensors enable detection of solid surfaces. – Detects strongest and last return. • Last Return (Red) – Solid Surface • Strongest Return (Blue) – Transparent Curtain Beam Split by Edge of Loading Dock
