Bathymetric LiDAR is an airborne acquisition technology or technique that uses green wavelength to pierce the water column in order to measure the seafloor. That is why it is the most effective as well as cost-efficient technology to capture geospatial…
LiDAR has been around for more than 60 years. Actually, the first LiDAR prototype was built in 1961 by Hughes Aircraft Company. Today, this technology is becoming common and a valuable tool for several industries. From autonomous vehicles to surveying,…
The growing use of LiDAR in disaster response and risk assessment has changed the way we react to calamities such as hurricanes or floods. This is so because LiDAR helps generate detailed maps of topography as well as retrieve digital…
LiDAR technology has become popular in the construction industry as it has helped enhance the work productivity of processes and teams. When a project doesn’t have an efficient process, the project’s safety is harder to maintain. LiDAR inspections are a…
The information provided by highly detailed 3D maps helps scientists, conservationists, and public servants with the information needed to understand an area's biodiversity, unexpected terrain differences, and changes over time. LiDAR plays an important role as it is becoming a…
Terrestrial LiDAR is important for transport engineers as it brings data from the road to your desk. It allows users to interact and analyze the LiDAR-derived data in spectacular detail. One of the most useful benefits of LiDAR in transportation…
What did past civilizations leave behind? For archaeologists, that question can be hard to answer. Luckily, LiDAR technology has helped archaeologists find ancient sites and transform how researchers approach unsurveyed land. LiDAR has become one of archaeology’s most exciting modern…
LiDAR has become crucial in transitioning the world of civil and construction engineering from 2D paper-based to 3D digital design. Any technology that can improve measurement, productivity, and processes will naturally be in demand. A whole new world of opportunities…
Assessing the condition of Yosemite’s forests is important to understand things such as how much carbon they store. This can be done by using data gathered with laser-based technology (LiDAR). Climate change affects many green forest areas and it also…
Panama is a country rich in majestic mountain ranges, volcanic intrusions, and waterways. Its tropical environment yields numerous resources to uncover and utilize. LIDAR surveying can be used to maximize the use of these resources in a number of beneficial…
