In recent years, there has been a growth explosion following the marriage between Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) mapping and artificial intelligence (AI). Standing separately in the geospatial market, LiDAR mapping and AI have made tremendous strides individually. As the…
There are always two sides to a coin, and this is no exception to scientists’ and engineers’ opposite opinions about lidar technology in cars. There is a debate on the role of lidar in autonomous driving as some believe it…
Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) is a remote sensing technology that uses light in the form of a pulsed laser to measure distance. This creates 3D information about an object concerning its environment. LiDAR technology is useful to various industries,…
LiDAR is becoming a vital technology for civil and construction engineering industries throughout the world. It is helping transition from 2D paper-based to 3D digital design. Each time more and more needs come to the surface, making lidar application critical…
The use of lidar technologies is helping many industries grow at a fast pace. This useful key technology is also helping smart cities in their infrastructure deployment. The sensors gather information about the city during the day and at night…
The use of LiDAR has evolved dramatically thanks to new trends in technology that have allowed for higher accuracy and lower costs. As a response to the needs of businesses and the public sector, the demands on LiDAR trends have…
Measuring 130 feet from head to toe from its perch in Rio de Janeiro, the Cristo Redentor statue (“Christ the Redeemer”) was designed in 1922 by Heitor da Silva Costa. After it was built by sculptor Paul Landowski on top…
It’s no secret that the impact of heavy waves crashing on cliffs plays a role in erosion during storms. Keeping track of the damage as well as the potential for future erosion should be high on the list of priorities…
LiDAR technology is becoming one of the most talked about innovations of the modern age. Despite LiDAR being around in the engineering industry for some time now, it has been given a vast amount of media attention in the present…
The concept of going boldly where no one has gone before is soon to become an idea of the past. NASA has officially landed their Perseverance rover on Mars, representing a step in the right direction for space travel for…
