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. |
