The Velodyne HDL-64E is a 64 laser 3D (360x26.8 degree) scanning LIDAR. It was designed to fill perception needs of DARPA Urban Challenge vehicles. As such, it was principally intended for ground use. This paper presents the performance of the HDL-64E as it relates to the marine environment for unmanned surface vehicle (USV) obstacle detection and avoidance. We describe the sensor's capacity for discerning relevant objects at sea-both through subjective observations of the raw data and through a rudimentary automated obstacle detection algorithm. We also discuss some of the complications that have arisen with the sensor.
