With the help of a drone-mounted LiDAR scan, archaeologists were able to create a rough topographical map of two mountain-bound cities in Uzbekistan, named Tashbulak and Tugunbulak. The scans show ...

"The future of optical technology lies in our ability to harness the power of light with unparalleled precision and efficiency," says Arshey Patadia, a leading figure in photonics whose work is ...

The first-ever use of cutting-edge drone-based lidar in Central Asia allowed archaeologists to capture stunning details of two newly documented trade cities high in the mountains of Uzbekistan.

“This changes everything we thought we knew.” Lidar is helping uncover medieval cities high in the mountains of Central Asia along the Silk Road where trade caravans, like this one depicted in ...

In ancient Asia, particularly the period spanning from 130 B.C.E. to 1453 C.E., one of the most prominent trade routes in the ...

Two cities that flourished as part of the Silk Road have been mapped though drone-borne LiDAR, revealing them as two of the largest cities on the mountainous part of that world-changing path ...

The Indian Railways has issued tenders of Rs 3,200 crore for installation of Light Detecting and Ranging (LiDAR) technology on trains and rail tracks. The LiDAR technology will help detect ...

Using drone-borne LiDAR — light detection and ranging equipment — that can find structures obscured by vegetation, researchers captured images revealing two unexpectedly large-scale urban ...

Abstract: Robust initialization is crucial for online systems. In the letter, a high-frequency and resilient initialization framework is designed for LiDAR-inertial systems, leveraging both inertial ...

Key contributions include accurate lidar scan georeferencing with motion compensation, efficient map-to-map registration, and an effective decentralized fusion. Road test experiments on a professional ...
