http://photos2.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/c/a/6/e/event_235731822.jpegWolfgang Juchmann, Ph.D. will be presenting on Velodyne's spinning lidar products. Velodyne has two units the larger HDL-64E which you typically see on self driving cars and the smaller HDL-32E you see pictured here which has real potential for the small drone market for advanced computer vision applications.

If you are coming across the bay bridge you want to take the 9th St/Civic Center exit, but take an immediate left once you are on the off ramp onto 8th.
