A new device developed by Chinese researchers enables high-definition, 3D surface modeling for both land and water to support environmental monitoring and resource surveying in complex landscapes.
The device, named GeologyObserver-1, is an airborne photon-counting LiDAR system for integrated land and sea remote sensing intelligent detection.
LiDAR, which stands for Light Detection and Ranging, is a remote sensing method that uses light in the form of a pulsed laser to measure variable distances to the Earth. LiDAR systems generate precise, 3D information about the shape and surface characteristics of the Earth’
