LiDAR freezes the landscape--everything in that landscape; vegetation, animals, etc.--at the moment. Imagine if we had LiDAR images for critical archaeological sites from a hundred years ago.

From an airplane or in some cases a drone, a LiDAR sensor tracks the amount of time each laser pulse takes to return and uses that information to create a three-dimensional map of the environment ...

What do you call a 1,000-kilometer-long fault line that has slept for 40 million years, suddenly and quietly starting to wake ...

Airborne LiDAR works by sending more than 100,000 short laser pulses to the ground every second while a plane flies over the area of interest. The laser light hits the ground, then returns to the ...

Explorers were said to have been searching for this city since the 1500s. Even explorer Steve Elkins was on a quest for this city, also known as the ‘White City,’ since the early 1990s. Elkins ...

The laser-mapping technology, called LIDAR, could create a 3D map of the ground even in the weather conditions worst for visibility. That would allow fast-flying helicopters to swoop into rough ...

Osram Opto Semiconductors has announced the availability of a LIDAR package – essentially the spinning laser array found on self-driving and mapping vehicles – that costs $5 and works as well ...

For the past decade, he’s been a trailblazer in the archaeological application of LiDAR, airborne light detection and ranging equipment that can find structures obscured by dense tree canopies ...
