Picture yourself standing by a river, watching as a drone hums overhead. Below, its lidar system scans the landscape, mapping both the land and the shallow waters with pinpoint accuracy. This is ...

The team developed a lightweight collaborative Simultaneous Localization And Mapping (SLAM) algorithm which can be distributed across all the drones in the swarm. It combines LIDAR scan data and ...

Drone technology supplements this by capturing aerial images of the area, providing an overhead perspective that aids in mapping and planning. On the ground, survey teams use mobile applications ...

Bathymetric LiDAR is also a more sustainable and safer option for underwater mapping as it doesn’t require expensive and fuel-consuming survey vessels, or people entering the water.

Lidar drone mapping saved Frachetti’s team roughly a decade; otherwise, they would have needed to map an archeological site of this size using traditional methods.

It means the drone’s lidar was used to both determine the geographic location and map the surrounding area. “Normally you’d first have to locate yourself and then do the mapping,” he says.
