Remotely Piloted Systems

The California company can provide self-driving firms with crucial up-to-date map data thanks to its in-house-built equipment.

LiDAR and photogrammetry are both powerful tools. With this overview, you will learn how to choose the best one for your project | by Aleks Buczkowski

Debuting at AUVSI Pheonix LiDAR Systems is proud to introduce the miniRANGER remote sensing solution. The first of its kind in LiDAR sensing built fo

What is LiDAR
Light Detection And Ranging works by sending laser pulses into many, accurately defined directions in fast succession. Measuring the time it takes for each laser-pulse to be reflected and returned to the LiDAR-scanner allows reconstruction of all surfaces surrounding the scanner. Dynamic LiDAR mapping further requires fusing the returned pulse with the accurate world-position of the scanner at that time, so that returned points can also be recorded in a world coordinate system.

Want one lidar? Want two? Prefer to hold the lidar like a torch sometimes? Greenvalley has you covered.

“I first approached Velodyne LiDAR in 2012 with the wild idea of putting a LiDAR sensor on a drone,” says Grayson Omans, CEO and co-founder of Phoenix LiDAR. “Back then, these LiDAR sensors were pretty expensive, so it was a novel idea. I had high hopes for the result, but I never imagined that we’d …

This uses an updated version of the LIDAR-Lite sensor on a rotating mount. $245 is an impressive price -- backed!
