LiDAR<\/a> stands for ‘light detection and ranging’. An active form of remote sensing, LiDAR technology measures the distance between objects by hitting the target with a laser and analysing the reflected light. Using these systems, scientists and professionals can investigate natural and man-made environments with both precision and flexibility.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div> \n\n Related reading: LiDAR: How Does It Work?<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div> \n\n LiDAR sensors<\/a> are used by autonomous vehicles to navigate their environments, but they have many additional applications, across various industries and fields. We’ve collected 100 uses for this incredibly versatile technology.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div> \n\n Digital elevation models (DEMs) are used to create a 3D representation of a terrain’s surface. Before LiDAR, we relied on ground surveys or photogrammetry, both of which were relatively slow. LiDAR has since made this process quicker and easier.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div> \n\n 3D LiDAR imaging is a fast-growing industry, with notable commercial interest for autonomous cars and robotics. But the possibilities for future use are endless, with a growing interest in LiDAR imaging for healthcare, smart devices<\/a>, aerial surveys, geosciences, and more. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div> \n\nDigital elevation models<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div> \n\n
