LIDAR sensor from Velodyne LiDAR provides high resolution in captured 3D images

Velodyne LiDAR has announced the release of its new Puck Hi-Res sensor, a version of the company’s LiDAR puck, which uses Time of Flight distance measurement with calibrated reflectivities. The Puck Hi-Res—which targets applications ranging from autonomous vehicles to surveillance—expands on the company’s VLP-16 Puck, a 16-channel, real-time 3D LIDAR sensor that weighs 830 g. The sensor features a 360° field of view (FOV) and 100 m range, while also delivering a 20° vertical FOV for a tighter channel distribution—1.33° between channels instead of 2.00°, to deliver greater details in the 3D image at longer ranges. Additionally, the sensor features a Class 1 Eye-safe laser with a wavelength of 903 nm, a rotation rate of 5 – 20 Hz, and an integrated web server for monitoring and configuration.
