Mining Mapping Geology Urban Planning HIGH DEFINITION REAL-TIME 3D LiDAR HDL-64E Real-Time 3D LiDAR Velodyne now offers an improved high definition LiDAR scanner designed for autonomous vehicle navigation, mapping, surveying, industrial automation, and other uses. The S3 version of the HDL-64E provides improved accuracy and a higher data rate than the original version. Capture high definition 3 dimensional information about the surrounding environment. High Field of View, High Frame Rate With its full 360 HFOV by 26.8 VFOV, the HDL-64E provides significantly more environmental information than previously available. With its 5 -20 Hz user-selectable frame rate and over 2.2 million points per second output rate, the HDL-64E S3 provides all the distance sensing data you’ll ever need. The unit’s development has been focused on high data rate, high robustness, accuracy and simple 100 MBPS Ethernet interfacing to the end user. HDL-64E S3 Patented 64-Laser One-Piece Design Traditional LiDAR sensors have relied upon a single laser firing into a mechanically actuated mirror, providing only one plane of view. The HDL-64E S3’s patented one-piece design uses 64 fixed-mounted lasers to measure the surrounding environment, each mechanically mounted to a specific vertical angle, with the entire unit spinning. This approach dramatically increases reliability, FOV, and point cloud density. The HD LiDAR Concept Velodyne’s unique HD LiDAR technology lets you focus your efforts on control algorithms, image parsing and application-specific processing instead of multi-sensor mounting, debugging and integration. A prototype of the HDL-64E S3 was successfully used in the 2005 DARPA Grand Challenge and the HDL-64E played an essential role in the 2007 DARPA Urban Challenge for multiple prominent teams.
