The Mapping Channel

Welcome to our latest video where we dive into the fascinating world of Lidar technology! In this video, Jared Martin, a Lidar expert at Sanborn helps us understand the power and potential of this gamechanging technology.

Lidar, short for Light Detection and Ranging, is a remote sensing technology that can detect and identify objects through the use of laser beams. With millions of pulses per second, it can generate a threedimensional point cloud that allows us to explore the Earth in a digital form. And when combined with GPS, GNSS, and IMU sensors, it becomes a much more consumergrade product that can be used on anything from an airplane to a truck to a train!

In this video, you'll discover how Lidar technology is revolutionizing the way we analyze and understand our environment. Whether you're interested in forestry, wetland areas, or urban and suburban landscapes, Lidar can penetrate the canopy and provide us with a better understanding of what's happening on the ground.
