Types of LiDAR

  • LiDAR systems can be classified based on several criteria, including their position relative to the surface of the Earth, the nature of the targets they are designed to measure, and their operational wavelengths.

    • Airborne LiDAR is used for applications such as topographic mapping and forest canopy analysis.
    • Terrestrial LiDAR is used in industrial automation, robotics, and various forms of spatial analysis including creating detailed city models and simulations in urban planning.
    • Mobile LiDAR systems are mounted on moving vehicles and are commonly used for mapping, road surveys, and obstacle detection and navigation in autonomous driving.
