Electric utilities have installed Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) units on helicopters, aerial drones or on the ground. While similar to radar, which uses radio waves to detect objects and their ...
Two years ago, DTE Energy faced a limited operations and maintenance budget for vegetation management along with territory-specific challenges. The Detroit, Michigan-based utility set a goal to ...
LiDAR systems are used to gather high-resolution, accurate data on terrains, topography, and vegetation, which is crucial for identifying potential mineral deposits and mapping geological features.
At the core of the LiDAR revolution lies its ability to emit laser pulses that can penetrate through vegetation, thus capturing ground levels with pinpoint accuracy. In contrast, photogrammetry relies ...
How do you stop weeds from overtaking that multi-million dollar solar facility? Thanks to a confluence of sensor developments and automation technologies, the answer is to call in the robots. The ...
Dr. Jan van Aardt obtained a BSc Forestry degree (biometry and silviculture specialization) from the University of Stellenbosch, South Africa. This was followed by a Hons. Forestry degree with a ...
LiDAR, archaeologists joke that it’s ‘the dream’ when approaching large-scale field surveys, especially in remote or difficult to traverse areas. It seems like new 'lost' cities are coming to light ...
As light detection and ranging (lidar) technology evolves, forest ecology and ecological restoration researchers have been using these tools in a wide range of applications. As light detection and ...
