| amazon henges lidar: Manual of AIRBORNE TOPOGRAPHIC LIDAR Michael S Renslow, 2025-02-21 Most geospatial practitioners agree that lidar (light detection and ranging) is the most significant mapping technology to emerge in the last several years. At first, processing lidar data to map the bare earth appeared to be the prime use of this technology, but having millions or billions of natively 3D, georeferenced points has fundamentally changed the perception of the service providers and the user community. Professionals in forestry, civil engineering, geology, geography, wetlands analysis, natural disaster response, flood plain mapping, and urban planning have embraced lidar as their data source of choice. The ASPRS Manual of Airborne Topographic Lidar covers all the relevant topics relating to the science behind lidar systems, mission planning, data collection and management, quality control/quality assurance, and product development. Selected topics are discussed in-depth for the Global Navigation Satellite System, Full Waveform Lidar, Digital Terrain Modeling using GIS, Rotary-Wing and Fixed-Wing Installations, Calibration, Flood Prone Area Mapping, Hydro-enforcement, Building Feature Extraction, Transportation Engineering, Natural Hazards Mapping, and Airport Surveying. Lidar experts from industry and academia have contributed to ten chapters and four appendices that serve as a reference book to document how this technology developed, and introduce new sensors and applications. There is emphasis on best practices and real-world solutions for the lidar data and product users. Also, since quality control and quality assurance are so critical to a successful data collection, processing, and validation, the reader will find several subchapters to support QA/QC throughout the Manual. New lidar technologies are presented for 3D Flash Lidar and Geiger-mode lidar. The performance of these systems is explained in detail with examples of applications and processing lidar data in real-time for on-site decision-making. The contributing authors are leading experts who are sharing the results of many years of work pioneering lidar technology and taking it to the forefront of geospatial data and analysis. Their experiences and solutions will be of great benefit to professionals, researchers, technologists, and students. |
| amazon henges lidar: The Laser That's Changing the World Todd Neff, 2018-10-09 Tells the story of a laser technology that will have a big impact on society and the brilliant innovators responsible for its development Lidar--a technology evolved from radar, but using laser light rather than microwaves--has found an astounding range of applications, none more prominent than its crucial role in enabling self-driving cars. This accessible introduction to a fascinating and increasingly vital technology focuses on the engaging human stories of lidar's innovators as they advance and adapt it to better understand air, water, ice and Earth - not to mention mapping Mars and Mercury, spotting incoming nuclear warheads, and avoiding pedestrians and cyclists on city streets. Award-winning science writer Todd Neff invites readers behind the scenes to meet some of the great innovators who have explored and expanded the uses of this amazing technology: people like MIT scientist Louis Smullin, whose lidar bounced light off the moon soon after the laser's invention; Allan Carswell, who plumbed the shallows of Lake Erie en route to developing the aerial lidar now essential for coastal mapping and hurricane damage assessment; Red Whittaker, the field robotics pioneer who was putting lidar on his autonomous contraptions as early as the 1980s; and David Hall, whose laser sombrero on a Toyota Tundra gave birth to modern automotive lidar. These are just some of the stories Neff tells before looking ahead to a future that could bring lidar to unpiloted air taxis, to the contaminated pipes of the U.S. nuclear weapons complex, and to satellites capable of pinpointing greenhouse gas sources from orbit. As the author makes clear, the sky is no limit with lidar, which promises to make our world safer, healthier, and vastly more interesting. |

| amazon henges lidar: Laser Remote Sensing Takashi Fujii, Tetsuo Fukuchi, 2005-06-28 Information on recent progress in laser remote sensor (LIDAR) technology can be found scattered throughout numerous journal articles and conference proceedings, but until now there has been no work that summarizes recent advancements and achievements in the field in a detailed format. Laser Remote Sensing provides an up-to-date, comprehensive review on LIDAR, focusing mainly on applications to current topics in atmospheric science. The scope of the book includes laser remote sensing of the atmosphere, including measurement of aerosols, water vapor, clouds, winds, trace constituents, and temperature. It also covers other interesting applications such as vegetation monitoring and altimetry. LIDAR systems described in this volume include ground-based (fixed or mobile), airborne, and spaceborne (satellite-based) systems. The book emphasizes instrumentation and measurement techniques to enable the reader to understand what kind of a LIDAR system is necessary for a certain application. The individual chapters are self-contained and written by authors who are outstanding experts in each field. The book is intended for scientists, researchers, and students who have interest in the atmospheric environment and wish to learn about the measurement capabilities of state-of-the-art LIDAR systems |
| amazon henges lidar: Applications Of Lidar Damion Ates, 2021-03-12 The book is a visual essay resulting from a study of applications by LIDAR. The applications illustrated here depict the deployment of these technologies both in the air and on the ground. Such applications are often intended to measure, locate, and/or visualize complex scenes composed of both natural and manmade objects. It is interesting to note that such scenes may concurrently involve situations both above/below the ground and/or above/below water. This book simply illustrates enough applications to illustrate what can be done today and what might be able to be accomplished at some time soon. |

| amazon henges lidar: Lidar Comparison for GoAmazon 2014/15 Field Campaign Report , 2016 The Observations and Modeling of the Green Ocean Amazon 2014/15 (GoAmazon 2014/15) experiment uses the city of Manaus, Amazonas (AM), Brazil, in the setting of the surrounding green ocean as a natural laboratory for understanding the effects of present and future anthropogenic pollution on the aerosol and cloud life cycle in the tropics. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) supported this experiment through the deployment of the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Climate Research Facility's first Mobile Facility (AMF-1) in the city of Manacapuru, which is 100 km downwind of Manaus, from January 1 2014 to December 31 2015. During the second Intensive Operational Period (IOP) from August 15 to October 15 2014, three lidar systems were operated simultaneously at different experimental sites, and an instrument comparison campaign was carried out during the period October 4 to 10, during which the mobile lidar system from Instituto de Pesquisas Energéticas e Nucleares-Universidade de São Paulo was brought from the T2 site (Iranduba) to the other sites (T3 [Manacapuru] and then T0e-Embrapa). In this report we present the data collected by the mobile lidar system at the DOE-ARM site and compare its measurements with those from the micro-pulse lidar system running at that site. |
