A Seminar On: Lidar

The document discusses LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) and its applications. It describes LiDAR as an optical remote sensing technology that measures scattered light to determine a target's distance and other properties. A LiDAR system consists of a laser scanning system, GPS, and IMU. When used for terrain mapping from aircraft, LiDAR measures range, scan angle, sensor position and orientation to generate geo-located laser returns and calculate XYZ coordinates. This enables highly accurate and detailed topographic mapping. While LiDAR provides precision mapping, it cannot operate in cloudy or low-visibility conditions.

INTRODUCTIO
NWhat is LiDAR?

 LIDAR (Light Detection And Ranging) is an optical


remote sensing technology.

 In this it measures properties of scattered light to


find range and/or other information of a distant
target.
LiDAR Principle of Operation
 A LIDAR system is composed of

 Laser scanning system

 Global positioning system (GPS)

 Inertial measuring unit (IMU)


Functional Level Representation
APPLICATIONS
Airborne Laser Altimeter Terrain
Mapping:
For Terrain Mapping:

Detailed topographic maps.

Comprehensive and precise topographic


information.

The method relies on measuring the


distance from an airplane
Airborne Laser Terrain
Mapper:

System measures and outputs:


Range
Scan angle
Sensor position
Sensor
 Combined orientation
information gives - - “GEO-LOCATED LASER RETURN ”
Signal amplitude
Post processing software:

Calculates X,Y,Z coordinates

Performs filtering and other functions

Used in A-GPS
Advantages:
 Surveying

Mapping areas

 Accuracy and high precision

 Integrated with traditional aerial photography

 Able to map bare earth elevations


Limitations :

 It cannot be used above cloud cover or when


fog, smoke, mist, rain, or snow storms are present.

 Not able to accurately delineate stream channels,


shorelines, ridge lines often visible on photographic
images.
Conclusion:
LiDAR is an enhancing technology

LiDAR has empowered Geographic


information systems .

LiDAR offers flexibility.

LiDAR is unobtrusive and environmentally


friendly.
