Archaeologists have revealed an ancient lost Mayan city using advanced laser mapping technology, unearthing monumental ...

LiDAR can generate topographic maps like these using eye-safe Er-doped fiber 1550 nm lasers. Image Credit: Avantier Inc. For underwater and bathymetry applications, a laser with good transmission ...

In recent years, Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) technology has revolutionized the surveying landscape, significantly ...

This map was essential for studying the terrain and preparing for the mission. According to the analysis, the average expected vegetation height of 10 to 15 m allowed for the detection of aircraft ...

The settlements, Tashbulak and Tugunbulak, are among the largest ever documented in the mountainous parts of the Silk Road, ...

The depression in the landscape, which McCauley says is clearly visible using LiDAR, “seems to conform reasonably well to the 1897 USGS map. We knew that was about where it had been, but to me ...

Let’s break it down. LiDAR stands for “Light Detection and Ranging,” and it’s a technology that allows the phone to detect distances by measuring how long it takes for light to bounce off objects.

By airplane, helicopter or drone, a LiDAR system aims rapid pulses of laser light at the surface and the reflections are processed to create a three-dimensional map. Advances in LiDAR have ...

Although lidar has been a standard part of autonomous systems development in recent years, there is still space for complementary or alternative approaches. Lidar is still considered expensive ...

For the first time, how the entire coastline of Northern Ireland is changing has been mapped by researchers at Ulster University. The team studied almost 200 years' worth of maps, surveys and ...
