LiDAR has a wide range of applications. It depends on the wavelength that’s being used, the detector that’s being used, as well as the platform that it’s being used on. One of the biggest applications of airborne platform for LiDAR is wide-area mapping. Using a LiDAR sensor that’s flying at a certain height or an […]
Researchers at New York University have refined the procedure, resulting in much more detailed images. LiDAR can be used in different fields to benefit communities around the world. When attached to any aircraft, it receives space and time data about the surface below. The data can later be studied for archaeological purposes or applied to […]
IT’s been there some 1200 years. But it’s been hidden from sight by the dense green foliage of Guatemala’s tropical rainforests. It’s an ancient Mayan civilisation capable of having housed more than 100,000 people. But it took modern laser technology (known as LiDAR — Light Detection and Ranging) and a survey of more than 2100 […]
