Learn how LiDAR uses light sensors to measure the distance between the sensor and the target object, and how it provides very accurate, high resolution 3D data. Explore the history, types and applications of LiDAR in remote sensing fields. Lidar , or light detection and ranging, is a remote sensing technology that uses light pulses to map an environment. While you can find lidar in home security systems, bar code scanners, and facial recognition systems, lidar may be best known for its role in advancing fully autonomous driving. Unlike its radar and sonar cousins, lidar provides high-resolution 3D data, making it an important tool across industries including automotive, geology, and agriculture. Lidar is a method of measuring distances by using laser light and detecting the reflected signal. Learn about the origin, evolution, and uses of lidar in various fields, such as surveying, meteorology, and autonomous vehicles. LiDAR – Light Detection and Ranging – is a technology that targets an object with a laser and measures the time that passes until the reflected light returns to the receiver. This means LiDAR sensors are capable of generating a 3D or 2D image with spatial and depth data for detecting, measuring, localizing and tracking objects. LiDAR technology has revolutionized automation in countless industries, from automotive to logistics and warehousing to aerospace. LiDAR sensors with a real-time ...
