DVN Lidar Workshop, 12-13 September
The first DVN-Lidar Workshop will take place as a hybrid (live + online) event on 12-13 September at (and from) the Dorint Hotel in Frankfurt Sulzbach. The DVN team faced an unexpected difficulty about this workshop: the AutoSens Congress is on the same week in Brussels. Of course, a number of our community members and prospectives invited to our workshop had already long-term commitments and appointments for the event in Brussels. Therefore we will miss about 10 live participants.
Despite this, we will still gather 20 live participants and about the same number of online participants from America and Asia. This encourages us to proceed with our workshop to promote lidar activity. Next time we will be more alert about parallel events; this time we are working to arrange video recording of as many presentations and sessions as possible, so as to make them available to the community and to new prospects who could not attend personally or by online participation.
Below is the latest version of the Workshop docket. As an interesting new element, we have added a presentation of DVN senior advisor (and former Audi lighting and vision development chief) Wolfgang Huhn, who will propound on the integration of lidar and lighting.
