First developed in the 1970s, LiDAR technology has come a long way in just 40 years. Laser Imaging Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) can analyze a cloud of data points to help design smart cities today. More than just your average…
As digital transformation marches forward and machines become smarter, what are some future trends that we can expect in LiDAR mapping? Allowing machines to “see” what they're working on drastically improves information quality and success in various areas. Here's a…
The pandemic has changed much about how we live and work every day. Not only are people working and shopping from home, but they are also discovering new methods to socially distance themselves from others. When socially distancing, many individuals…
Technology does not change but evolves. In this fast-paced world, it is expected for new and improved technologies to rise to meet the demands of the next generation. LiDAR has been one of the few forms of technology to consistently…
LiDAR technology measures the differences in laser pulse response times. The result is an extremely detailed topography map and heat signatures that can show buildings and changes in the ground depth with astounding accuracy. While archeologists have used LiDAR to…
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…
LiDAR technology is one of the fastest-growing technologies of the last few years. It's easy to see why. LiDAR mapping companies make surveying much easier and more detailed. As the capabilities of LiDAR continue to expand, you'll be able to…
If 2020 has taught us anything it's that we all can get a little antsy when we are forced to stay in one place. As we move forward, it is important to look at our transportation infrastructure and its ability…
