Lidar uses laser light to allow researchers to build a high-resolution three-dimensional model of the deep seafloor (top) that is more detailed than bathymetric maps collected by traditional multibeam ...

A team of scientists have integrated an ultrasensative sensor called a “superconducting nanowire single-photon detector,” or SNSPD, into a LiDAR system with incredible results. Capable of ...

Ever since Russia’s Sputnik took to the sky in 1957, artificial satellite networks have employed electromagnetic waves like radar and Lidar to map terrestrial—and extraterrestrial—surfaces.

This image from Seabed 2030 shows how much of the seafloor has been mapped, with black areas representing places without data yet. Vicki Ferrini For nearly a decade, scientists at Monterey Bay’s ...

The latest lidar maker to release financial data is Ouster, which announced a $42 million fundraising round in a Tuesday blog post. That blog post also revealed a striking statistic: the company ...

On April 22, the same day Tesla held its autonomy event, a trio of Cornell researchers published a research paper that offered some support for Musk's claims about lidar. Using nothing but stereo ...

Smart City trials are ongoing, many with LiDAR which offers performance consistency in bad weather and lighting, and data privacy. Real deployments will rely on ease of use, reliability ...

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 ...

LiDAR offers several advantages over camera-based systems. While cameras provide a flat representation of the environment in two-dimensional form, LiDAR renders a three-dimensional view of the world ...
