LiDAR applications

Guest author Mark Senior of software provider PointFuse explains how point cloud data can assist in building restoration projects. To ensure smooth collaboration between disciplines, reducing and processing the size of point cloud data is essential. Mark explains how this can be easily accomplished to restore buildings in accurate detail.

Capturing terrain aerially has many advantages and therefore offers exciting use cases in numerous industries. Robust and small LiDAR sensors enable the recording of terrain with centimeter accuracy and thus provide information about the conditions while cutting down costs and and man-hours.

LiDAR in security applications can act as a much-needed breakthrough for the outdated legacy systems. Learn how LiDAR operates in a security system, its typical applications, and what makes it stand out from other sensors.

LiDAR enables applications in a wide variety of fields - we often write that. But what do these applications actually look like? We present five different possible applications based on a specific software feature.

The fleet management of car rental companies becomes more efficient with a smart infrastructure: LiDAR sensors enable remote control of vehicles and smart parking.

LiDAR can help agriculture increase yields and use land more efficiently through detailled monitoring. The technology is thus preparing the agricultural sector for the future.

Congestion is a major problem in cities worldwide - integrating LiDAR sensors into the infrastructure can optimize traffic flow with the help of precise 3D data.
