Velodyne has just announced a firmware upgrade for the HDL32 that got my attention as it sounds like an attempt to develop a smarter scanner – something that is badly needed.
Here’s their claim: “…but now also features calibrated reflectivities that allow for recognizing street signs, lane markers and other objects while driving at highway speeds. The new HDL32 firmware additionally provides an easy-to-use WebServer based GUI allowing for the first time to set and monitor critical parameters during live operation.
Both of these features sound very interesting and a step in the right direction. More from SPAR.
