There is a critical need for rapid, rigorous, reproducible and scalable forest inventory tools to support data-driven policies and management practices in response to challenges including deforestatio...

The Dutch startup Aerial Precision recently demonstrated its first two sensors with integrated artificial intelligence software. Over the past few years, the company’s innovation efforts have result...

Perhaps surprisingly, video game development is becoming an increasingly popular use case for navigation and Lidar data. However, it is often overlooked amidst the almost endless possible applications...

Integrated airborne sensing combining imagery and Lidar data presented an effective solution in this complex project to model two iconic Croatian cities with challenging relief and landscape. Nowadays...

Terrestrial laser scanning is increasingly being fused with air/spaceborne Lidar to characterize vegetation structure across a range of forest ecosystems. This article explores the potential of this a...

Lidar change detection (LCD) is one of the most capable techniques for mapping changing terrain through time. It can be applied in billion-dollar decisions to design, build and operate tunnels, bridge...

'GIM International' spoke to Blickfeld, a developer of Lidar sensors and software, to hear about other potentially relevant applications in smart cities, besides for autonomous driving. Despite the n...

The arrival of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs or ‘drones’) has democratized the Lidar market forever. Everyday projects can be flown easier and faster, and sensors are getting lighter, more accura...

An unprecedented scientific effort to Lidar-scan the entire surface of the Earth before it’s too late... that’s how Christopher Fisher, the founder of the Earth Archive, describes his initiative. ...

Airborne Lidar and 3D modelling technologies have emerged as highly valuable geospatial tools available to archaeologists in their efforts to gain insights into key historical sites. Being able to ac...
