ALPHA PRIME™: The World’s Most Advanced Sensor
This state-of-the-art sensor generates high quality perception in a wide variety of light conditions, with advanced sensor-to-sensor interference mitigation, power efficiency, and thermal performance.
With the Alpha Prime™, Velodyne Lidar delivers the optimal long-range sensor for autonomous mobility. The Alpha Prime™’s world-class combination of range, image clarity and field of view detects roadway objects with reliability and precision. Providing long-range detection of low reflectance objects such as tire fragments, dark vehicles, asphalt, and pedestrians, the Alpha Prime™ enables autonomous operation within a broad range of settings, including urban and highway environments.

KEY FEATURES Dual Returns 128 Channels 245m Range 2,400,000 Points per Second 360° Horizontal FOV 40° Vertical FOV Low Power Consumption Protective Design Connectors: RJ45 / M12

VEHICLE LOCALIZATION Velodyne Puck is being used for map based localization in fusion with IMU/Wheel-Encoder and prior 3D map (build using pose graph SLAM). A step towards low-cost localization.	UAV LIDAR MAPPING SYSTEM You'll see how LiDAR can pick up points underneath vegetation vs Photogrammetry will only map tree canopy.	UAV AIRBORNE LASER SCANNING First experiment with the Velodyne Puck mounted on a brushless gimbal on a Devourer X8 heavy-lift multi-rotor UAV.
