Mike Dunbar to Speak at SPAR Europe

Dunbar's presentation, ‘Compact Lidar Sensor for Mobile Mapping and 3D Data Collection," will demonstrate how a high-resolution sensor can develop an accurate, dense point-cloud for 3D map development as well as obstacle detection or landmark navigation on autonomous vehicles. The discussion will also describe how the sensor, using 32 lasers, is suited to high-density data collection for a variety of ground and maritime vehicles in day or night conditions, at full vehicle speeds, thereby dramatically reducing the time needed for terrain coverage.

Dunbar has over 20 years experience in the sensor technology field. His background includes bringing new technologies to market, establishing sales channels around the world and helping customers integrate Lidar technology into autonomous vehicles and mobile mapping applications. He is the author of numerous articles in trade publications and a frequent presenter at industry conferences in the area of sensor applications. Dunbar is a graduate of the College of Engineering from the University of California, Berkeley, USA.
