How It Works
FAQ
-
What is LiDAR scanning?LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) scanning is a remote sensing method that uses light in the form of a pulsed laser to measure distances of buildings. These light pulses—combined with other data recorded by the airborne system—generate precise, three-dimensional information about the shape of the building and its surface characteristics.
-
How does LiDAR work?LiDAR works by emitting a laser beam towards the target and measuring the time it takes for the light to reflect back to the sensor. This time is then used to calculate the distance between the LiDAR system and the target.
-
What are the applications of LiDAR scanning?LiDAR scanning is used in numerous fields including geography, archaeology, forestry, geology, seismology, atmospheric physics, and more. It's particularly useful for mapping, creating 3D models of terrain, measuring forest biomass, and urban planning.
-
Is LiDAR scanning accurate?Yes, LiDAR scanning is known for its high accuracy. It can measure distances with precision down to the mm, making it ideal for detailed topographical surveys and 3D modeling.
-
What's the difference between airborne and terrestrial LiDAR?Airborne LiDAR is mounted on aircraft and is used primarily for surveying large areas, while terrestrial LiDAR systems are ground-based and used for scanning smaller, more detailed objects or landscapes.
-
How long does a LiDAR scan take?A point cloud is a set of data points in space produced by LiDAR scanning. Each point represents a single measurement of the surface being scanned, and collectively, these points create a detailed 3D model of the area.
-
Can LiDAR be used indoors?Yes, terrestrial LiDAR systems can be used indoors for architectural surveys, historical preservation, and construction projects, providing detailed measurements and 3D models of interior spaces.
