LIDAR is a very exciting technology that is only just now starting to become accessible to the DIY market. Think radar, but with lasers. There’s a few different modules starting to pop up for ...

A new hyperspectral Raman imaging lidar system can remotely detect and identify various types of plastics, which could help address the critical issue of plastic pollution in the ocean by ...

LIDAR has gained much popularity as a means for self-driving cars to survey the space around them. At their most basic, LIDAR is a surveying method that uses lasers to paints the space around the ...

So far, almost every autonomous vehicle we've encountered uses lidar to determine how far away things are, just as the winners of the DARPA Grand Challenges did back in the early 2000s.

Researchers showed that their new hyperspectral Raman imaging lidar system can detect and identify various types of plastics from 6 meters away. The plastic sample they tested (pictured) has a ...
