LiDAR is having a moment right now helping self-driving cars and robots not hit things, but don't forget about what else it can do. In a study called The Bare Earth, scientists from the Washington ...

Researchers have designed a single-photon time-of-flight LiDAR system that can produce high-resolution 3D images of objects and faces that are some distance away. The top images show 3D printed ...

Lidar imaging has been around for almost as long as the technology it’s based on, the laser. But unlike its more famous cousin, radar, it was mostly used for research purposes. The reason scientists ...

Lidar's ability to capture 3D data about an object's surroundings is already put to use in several application areas, including autonomous vehicles and security systems. Another application of obvious ...

Closer to home, LiDAR’s role on Rattlesnake Ridge isn’t unusual. The technology has yielded striking geographic portraits from throughout Washington — rivers that meander out of their channels, land ...

LiDAR, archaeologists joke that it’s ‘the dream’ when approaching large-scale field surveys, especially in remote or difficult to traverse areas. It seems like new 'lost' cities are coming to light ...

Lidar sensors add depth scanning for better photos and AR, but in future we could see mixed-reality headsets and more. I started with CNET reviewing laptops in 2009. Now I explore wearable tech, VR/AR ...

São Sebastião, a municipality on the coast of São Paulo state in Brazil that was partially cut off from the rest of the country in February 2023 after a period of torrential rain, had more than 1,000 ...

Researchers used images from LiDAR, a remote sensing technique that produces 3-D depictions of forest structure, to map logging areas—including roads, skid trails, gaps under the canopy, and decks ...

It is also not so difficult to make light pulses that are considerably shorter. I once worked with a laser that had a 35 femtosecond pulse duration (a femtosecond is a million-billionth of a second, ...
