While the general application - developing a detailed picture of the local environment - is roughly the same, various devices use LiDAR differently. Here are the main applications in use today: ...

But which iPhones come with LiDAR, and how can you use it to your advantage? Let’s break it down. LiDAR stands for “Light Detection and Ranging,” and it’s a technology that allows the phone to detect ...

Discover how adaptive-computing technology is extending the capabilities of LiDAR sensors to deliver higher depth resolution ...

Self-driving cars often use LiDAR — think of it as radar using light beams. One limitation of existing systems is they need some method of scanning the light source around, and that means moving ...

Rather having herds of explorers clamber around in the upper reaches of these forests to take measurements, researchers decided to use LiDAR to create a 3D map of these forests (press release).

Once considered an essential part of the auto industry's high-tech future, lidar sensors are now often seen as optional components with uncertain prospects. The sensors, which use lasers to depict ...

In the race to build robots that can navigate any environment, scientists have faced a big challenge: traditional vision ...
