Lidar drone mapping saved Frachetti’s team roughly a decade; otherwise, they would have needed to map an archeological site of this size using traditional methods.

Dr. Philippe Simard of SimActive explains the strengths, differences, and integration of photogrammetry vs. LiDAR in drone mapping workflows.

Think we only need to ask two question on this incredible bit of drone, LiDAR 3D mapping and AI technology: 1. Can it dodge a swing from a base ball bat? or 2.

Maharashtra is launching a pilot project using LiDAR-based drones to monitor mining activities and enhance state revenue.

The LIDAR comprises a full 50% of the drone’s weight and provides a conical FOV out to a range of 450m. All processing happens onboard the drone, with point cloud data being processed by a LIDAR ...

Picture yourself standing by a river, watching as a drone hums overhead. Below, its lidar system scans the landscape, mapping both the land and the shallow waters with pinpoint accuracy. This is ...

The team developed a lightweight collaborative Simultaneous Localization And Mapping (SLAM) algorithm which can be distributed across all the drones in the swarm. It combines LIDAR scan data and ...

AgEagle drones feature unique cameras, including 3D mapping. The Duet T camera can perform thermal and color mapping simultaneously. The AgEagle drone family offers drones for mapping, tactical ...

The drones collect real-time data during extreme events, and the researchers use sensors in the water. They compare drone topography models and "Light Detection and Ranging (lidar)-derived models." ...

LiDAR technology and mapping. ... By airplane, helicopter or drone, a LiDAR system aims rapid pulses of laser light at the surface and the reflections are processed to create a three-dimensional map.

It means the drone’s lidar was used to both determine the geographic location and map the surrounding area. “Normally you’d first have to locate yourself and then do the mapping,” he says.
