How It Works
Understanding How LiDAR Technology Works
The First Step in LiDAR Technology
LiDAR systems emit rapid pulses of laser light at a target area. These lasers, which are usually in the near-infrared spectrum, are generated by a high-precision laser source within the LiDAR equipment.
Capturing Essential Surface Data
After the laser light hits the target surface, it is reflected back towards the LiDAR system. This reflection is critical as it carries essential data about the object or area that was hit by the laser pulse.
Time-of-Flight: Measuring Distances with Precision
LiDAR calculates the time it takes for each laser pulse to return after hitting the target. This measurement, known as time-of-flight, is used to determine the distance between the LiDAR sensor and the target object, giving an accurate location point.
From Point Clouds to 3D Models: The Final Transformation in LiDAR
The LiDAR system compiles all the return time data to create a detailed set of points, known as a point cloud. This point cloud is then used to generate a three-dimensional model of the scanned area, providing detailed and accurate topographical data.
Exploring the Versatility of LiDAR Across Industries
Forestry and Agriculture: LiDAR is transforming how we manage forests and agricultural lands. It offers detailed mapping capabilities, essential for wildlife detection, biomass assessment, and tree diversity mapping.
Construction and Civil Engineering: In construction, LiDAR accelerates data collection, mapping, and visualization, improving the accuracy and efficiency of planning and execution processes.
Automotive and Transportation: LiDAR technology is integral to the development of autonomous vehicles, providing accurate environmental mapping for safe navigation and obstacle detection.
