What is LiDAR?
LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) is a remote sensing method that uses light in the form of a pulsed laser to measure ranges (variable distances) to the Earth. These light pulses—combined with other data recorded by the airborne system—generate precise, three-dimensional information about the shape of the Earth and its surface characteristics.

- Direct 3D Point Cloud generation
- Long range detection (200m+)
Common Applications
- Autonomous Vehicles (Self-driving cars)
- SLAM (Simultaneous Localization & Mapping)
- Topographical Surveying
- Industrial Automation & Safety
