Lidar Systems

LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) systems use laser pulses to measure distances to objects. They emit rapid laser beams, which bounce off surfaces and return to the sensor. By calculating the time it takes for the light to return, LiDAR creates precise, 3D maps of environments. This technology is commonly used in autonomous vehicles, topographical mapping, and archaeology, providing detailed spatial information quickly and accurately without physical contact. Essentially, LiDAR acts like a highly advanced radar that uses light instead of radio waves to map surroundings in high resolution.
