VLP-16 Puck Hi-Res
Velodyne Lidar’s Puck Hi-Res is a higher resolution version of the popular Puck and is used in applications that require increased resolution in the point cloud. The Puck Hi-Res has similar performance to the Puck with the key difference being a higher vertical resolution of 1.33°, with an accompanying 20° vertical field of view. The higher resolution enables detection of objects at longer distances at comparable frame sizes. As a result, the Puck Hi-Res provides more detailed views for applications such as autonomous vehicles, surveillance and 3D mapping/imaging.
