Nowadays, both image-based solutions and laser-scanning methods are evolving rapidly, but there is much debate about which technology is more efficient. Integrated airborne sensors, in which imagery a...

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...

The automatic detection, data extraction, 3D modelling and visualization of buildings in urban areas using remote sensing data is an essential task in various applications such as cadastre, urban and ...

The accuracy of coastline data in Indonesia could be much improved by making use of Lidar bathymetry technology. In this article, the authors describe how Lidar bathymetry survey techniques were appli...

In the past, the effort of hardware integration and the necessary combination of different software tools was a major hurdle to gain a foothold in the field of laser scanning. This hurdle has now been...
