OS1-32 is priced at $8,000 for commercial applications (with volume pricing available) and $6,000 for non-profit university research.
BusinessWire: Velodyne introduces Alpha Prime, the next generation lidar with surround view.
The Alpha Prime’s features include:
- Superior field-of-view: 360-degree surround view perception and a 40-degree vertical field-of-view.
- High resolution of 0.2° x 0.1°
- Long range:
10% reflective targets >220m typical
5% reflective targets >150m typical
Ground plane hits >90m typical - Outstanding performance in a wide variety of lighting conditions, including retro reflectors and sunlight mitigation.
- Exceptional detection of dark or low reflectance objects at long distances, such as tires, dark vehicles, low reflectivity pavement and low visibility pedestrians.
- Advanced negative obstacle perception, such as potholes and cracks in the road.
- The highest resolution along with robust reflectivity returns from over 4.8 million points per second, simplifying detection and tracking of vehicles, pedestrians and other obstructions.
- High resolution and laser calibration enable the sensor to easily localize vehicles — outdoors or indoors — without a GPS, for precise positioning.
- Improved efficiency for extended vehicle operating time within broad temperature and environmental ranges without the need for active cooling.
- Advanced sensor-to-sensor interference mitigation.
- Automotive mass production options from multiple sources for qualified programs.
“The Alpha Prime is a significant step forward in enabling the advancement of the autonomous vehicle and robot industries,” said Anand Gopalan, CTO, Velodyne Lidar. “With its breadth of best-in-class features, the Alpha Prime is a marked advancement in sensor performance for real world conditions. Here at Velodyne, we take pride in listening to our customers and delivering innovative and high-performance products. We believe Velodyne’s versatility and agility extend our leadership status in the lidar business to empower autonomous solutions on a global scale.”
