By using LiDAR technology, a laser mapping system that uses light waves to created a three-dimensional map, researchers were able to locate structures normally hidden away by the dense jungle canopy.

A few years later, in 2022, Frachetti’s team was ready to map this new, potentially interesting area with the latest piece of tech in archeology: the lidar drone.

Commercial space-based 3D LiDAR imaging has yet to emerge in a big way. Nuview, an Orlando, Florida-based company, aims to disrupt this market. It recently emerged from stealth mode to address the ...

Researchers have developed an ultra-small, ultra-thin LiDAR device that splits a single laser beam into 10,000 points covering an unprecedented 180° field of view. It's capable of 3D depth ...

Nuview has also seen interest from existing space-based sensing customers looking to fuse their data with lidar — to essentially make their product even more robust by combining it with lidar data.
