A LiDAR sensor tracks the amount of time each laser pulse takes to return and uses that information to create a three-dimensional map of the environment below. The technique has revolutionized the ...

LiDAR stands for “Light Detection and Ranging,” and it’s a technology that allows the phone to detect distances by measuring how long it takes for light to bounce off objects. Think of it as your ...

About three miles away, a smaller, densely built city called Tashbulak was also surveyed by lidar, a remote sensing method that uses reflected light to create detailed 3-dimensional maps.

Lidar technology is commonly used to map archaeological landscapes blocked by dense vegetation, but it has additional value where vegetation is sparse, such as the mountains of Uzbekistan.

NASA researchers Guan Yang, Jeff Chen, and their team received the 2024 Innovator of The Year Award at the agency’s Goddard ...
