Frequently Asked
Questions

What is LiDAR?

LiDAR, which stands for Light Detection and Ranging, is a remote sensing method that uses laser light to create detailed 3D models of the Earth's surface and objects. It works by emitting laser pulses and measuring the time it takes for the light to bounce back, allowing for precise distance measurements and the creation of point cloud data. This data can be used to generate digital elevation models (DEMs), assess vegetation height and density, and even map structures and infrastructure.

How does LiDAR work?

LiDAR can be classified in several ways, but two primary categories are Topographic and Bathymetric.Topographic LiDAR uses near-infrared lasers to map land surfaces, while Bathymetric LiDAR uses green light to penetrate water and map underwater features like seafloors and riverbeds.

What applications can LiDAR be used for?

Here are some key applications of LiDAR:

Airborne LiDAR:Typically mounted on airplanes, helicopters or drones, used for large-area mapping, including forests, urban areas, and coastal regions. 

Terrestrial LiDAR:Operates at ground level, either mounted on a stationary tripod (static) or on a moving platform (mobile). Used for detailed surveys of smaller areas, infrastructure, and archaeological studies. 

Mobile LiDAR:A type of terrestrial LiDAR, mounted on vehicles or other moving platforms, used for applications like autonomous navigation and road mapping. 

Satellite LiDAR:Used for large-scale topographic mapping and atmospheric studies from space. 

Are there different classes of LiDAR?

Yes, here are some examples:

Rotating LiDAR scans by physically rotating the laser, producing a 360-degree point cloud.

Solid-State LiDAR uses microelectromechanical systems (MEMS)
or optical phased arrays (OPA) to steer the laser beam, offering advantages in size and reliability.

Flash LiDAR Illuminates the entire scene at once, capturing a single image, often used for short-range applications.

Incoherent (Direct Energy) Detection measures the amplitude of the reflected light.

Coherent Detection measures changes in the phase of the reflected light, often used in Doppler radar applications.

Differential Absorption LiDAR (DIAL): measures gas concentrations by analyzing the absorption of specific wavelengths of light.

Atmospheric LiDAR used for studying the atmosphere, including aerosols, clouds, and wind profiles.
