Tesla Inc.’s TSLA cost of making the entire Cybercab will roughly equal Alphabet Inc. GOOG GOOGL subsidiary Waymo‘s cost for installing lidar sensors on its robotaxis, according to Ark Invest ...

To find buried objects—explosive or otherwise—the researchers create ground vibration and then cast a two-dimensional array of laser beams at the ground. Ground vibration induces small ...

Auld-Thomas and his fellow researchers have succeeded in mapping the city beneath the jungle thanks to airborne laser scanning, better known as lidar (light detection and ranging), a remote ...

Department of Anthropology, Tulane University, New Orleans, USA Department of Anthropology, Northern Arizona University, Flagstaff, USA As airborne lidar surveys reveal a growing sample of urbanised ...

LiDAR will also help the railway develop 3D models of tracks using images from sensors. The technology uses laser beams to map the tracks, identify obstacles, and measure distances. The sensors ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Any advance in laser tech has huge potential across a whole range of fields – from space comms to fusion power – and we just got a big one: ultra-short laser pulses of up to 100 megawatts, the most ...
