LiDAR is a form of surveying that measures distance using laser pulses. LiDAR data is used for mapping purposes in many different fields, from civil engineering to land development. LiDAR mapping technology helps you to capture information, process the data, and create detailed maps. A LiDAR system collects 3D measurements…

LiDAR technology has finally entered the mobile tech space, with a majority of the world not even knowing. Cell phone makers have taken note of the growing need for accurate mapping and have already started incorporating this technology into mobile devices. As a refresher, LiDAR stands for light detection and…

Cameras and sensors for drones have brought a revolution to the surveying and mapping industry. They’re used for capturing imagery and providing highly accurate results. Gone are the days where you need large aircraft or large LiDAR sensors to map areas. Instead, you can use compact drones equipped with compact…

LiDAR is a remote sensing technology that helps to create three-dimensional models of dynamic scenes for surveying, mapping, autonomous driving cars, and more.   LiDAR uses lasers to measure elevations and distances of moving as well as stationary objects and allows for extremely precise measurement.  These sensors use LiDAR technology to…

LiDAR and radar are the two most powerful remote sensing technologies that help in tracking, detecting, and imaging objects! Both the devices have the same function – to detect the volume and presence of distant objects. Because of this reason, people often get confused between the two and use them…

LiDAR is a sought-after remote sensing technology for detecting distant objects and measuring distance.  In this technology, the laser beam is emitted, and a sensor is used to collect scattered beams to capture 3D information of a scanned object. LiDAR works much like sonar and radar but uses a laser…
