LiDAR generally, stands for light detection and ranging or it can also be defined as laser imaging detection and ranging. It is a remote sensing method in which light is mainly used in the form of a laser to measure variable distances to the earth. It is a combination of 3D scanning as well as laser scanning hence sometimes it can be defined as 3D laser scanning. Some of the benefits of using LiDAR technology includes the ability to capture large amounts of area in a relatively small amount of time and low requirement of manual labor. Also, LiDAR mapping system uses the most convenient technique to cover or scan the area which is known as drone lidar survey.
Additionally, LiDAR systems collect information by sending thousands of pulses of light per second and by calculating the time it takes for the pulse to reach the LiDAR sensor. This results in the accurate analysis and 3D description of geometric structures. Moreover, LiDAR technology is being used in both manned and unmanned aerial systems. They are also used in inertial navigation systems to calculate the exterior orientation and for geo-referencing and in military & law enforcement for vehicle speed measurement. Apart from that, LiDAR technology is used for many applications in various domains such as archaeology, agriculture, infrastructure and automotive.
