Introduction of LiDAR Drones
Light detection and ranging, or LiDAR laser , is a remote sensing technique that is increasingly being used in conjunction with drones. One can calculate the distance to the earth’s surface by using the speed of light, measuring the two-way travel time from the scanner’s laser beam, and creating a 3D point cloud. It is possible to distinguish real-life objects in LiDAR data because it is possible to determine which surface type the return came from based on the intensity of the return signal. This does closely match how much one would find in a picture. Let’s look at some exciting applications in which LiDAR-equipped drones are useful. But first, let’s discover what LiDAR drones are. What Is a LiDAR Drone? Any airborne drone with a LiDAR sensor attached is a LiDAR drone. The cost and size of LiDAR sensors have significantly decreased in recent years due to progress in the field of LiDAR technology, making it easier to mount a LiDAR payload on a drone. Additionally, as LiDAR ...
