On the left, the points are colored by elevation. A single tree isolated from a Geo-MMS LiDAR solution. Other active ranging technologies such as sonar and radar use sound and radio waves as their sensing methods respectively, whilst LiDAR utilizes short wavelength laser light for measuring the distance between the sensor and detected objects.įigure 3. Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) is just one type of active range measurement technology. In this study, we will examine several LiDAR sensors supported by the Geo-MMS Family of Products, including sensors from Teledyne Optech, Quanergy and Velodyne. This blog is complementary to our previous blog Selecting the Right LiDAR Sensors for Your Drone, although the information presented here does offer some updates, as LiDAR technologies are ever evolving. This information is being provided so that our customers have a clear vision when it comes to selecting the optimal LiDAR sensor for their Geo-MMS product. The purpose of this blog (first in a two-part series) is to explain the various metrics used when discussing Geo-MMS LiDAR sensor characteristics and how to discern the oftentimes overwhelming information provided by LiDAR sensor manufacturers.
