Frank Bertini, UAV and Robotics Business Manager at Velodyne
Lidar, Inc. (booth #1420), will deliver a featured presentation on
the business cases for 3D lidar technology in mobile mapping
applications at AUVSI XPONENTIAL 2019, taking place on April 29 to May
2, at McCormick Place in Chicago. Bertini will discuss
revenue-generating strategies created by adding lidar to drones,
backpacks, and all-terrain vehicles (ATV) to build autonomous solutions.

Bertini’s session, “Emerging Autonomous Applications for 3D Lidar,” will
provide a technical overview of industrial applications for lidar
onboard unmanned systems. The presentation focuses on emerging use-cases
which are creating business opportunities in developing markets,
including forestry management, utilities management, and surveying. The
session takes place on Wednesday, May 1 from 2:00 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. in
XPO Hall- Solutions Theater.
“Velodyne Lidar helps systems developers by providing rich computer
perception data that enables high-performing mapping systems in a
lightweight, versatile solution,” said Bertini. “Velodyne sensors make
it quick and easy for companies to build highly accurate 3D models of
any environment, such as forests, power corridors, and solar energy
farms.”
In the presentation, Bertini will examine how drones equipped with
Velodyne’s lightweight, powerful lidar can produce high-density point
clouds for a forest canopy as well as the terrain underneath. He will
also explain how this can be done at ground level with a backpack
application. Additionally, the session will include mobile mapping case
studies involving a power line inspection and surveying a solar power
field.
Attendees to AUVSI XPONENTIAL 2019 can visit the Velodyne booth to learn
about Velodyne’s
state-of-the-art lidar technology that delivers a high-resolution
surround-view image to accurately measure and analyze the environment.
The performance, range, and compact form factor of Velodyne sensors
enable developers to design versatile systems that can be configured to
any mapping need.
