Researchers have designed a single-photon time-of-flight LiDAR system that can produce high-resolution 3D images of objects and faces that are some distance away. The top images show 3D printed ...

Researchers have demonstrated a prototype lidar system that uses quantum detection technology to acquire 3D images while submerged underwater. The high sensitivity of this system could allow it to ...

Lidar imaging has been around for almost as long as the technology it's based on, the laser. But unlike its more famous cousin, radar, it was mostly used for research purposes. The reason scientists ...

A cutting-edge LiDAR project at UCT is transforming archaeological understanding of South Africa’s pre-colonial urban ...

New pictures claim to show the possible architectural remains of Ciudad Blanca, a mythical "White City" rumored to be buried somewhere deep in the forests of eastern Honduras. The 3-D maps are a ...

Lidar's ability to capture 3D data about an object's surroundings is already put to use in several application areas, including autonomous vehicles and security systems. Another application of obvious ...

WASHINGTON — For the first time, researchers have demonstrated a prototype lidar system that uses quantum detection technology to acquire 3D images while submerged underwater. The high sensitivity of ...

LiDAR is having a moment right now helping self-driving cars and robots not hit things, but don't forget about what else it can do. In a study called The Bare Earth, scientists from the Washington ...

James has been writing about cars professionally since 2012. After a bruising period freelancing in his native UK, James spent six years in Dubai, starting his new life abroad as Web Editor for ...

Volvo Cars plans to make lidar sensors standard equipment in a new generation of its XC90 SUV next year as part of a strategy to deploy more advanced safety and automated driving technology that ...

It is also not so difficult to make light pulses that are considerably shorter. I once worked with a laser that had a 35 femtosecond pulse duration (a femtosecond is a million-billionth of a second, ...
