Lidar
(
, also
LIDAR
,
LiDAR
or
LADAR
, an acronym of "light detection and ranging"
[1]
or "laser imaging, detection, and ranging"
[2]
) is a method for determining
ranges
by targeting an object or a surface with a
laser
and measuring the time for the reflected light to return to the receiver. Lidar may operate in a fixed direction (e.g., vertical) or it may scan multiple directions, in which case it is known as
lidar scanning
or
3D laser scanning
, a special combination of
3-D scanning
and
laser scanning
.

Lidar has terrestrial, airborne, and mobile applications.

The evolution of
quantum technology
has given rise to the emergence of Quantum LiDAR, demonstrating higher efficiency and sensitivity when compared to conventional LiDAR systems.

History and etymology
[
edit
]
Under the direction of Malcolm Stitch, the
Hughes Aircraft Company
introduced the first lidar-like system in 1961,
[10]
[11]
shortly after the invention of the laser. Intended for satellite tracking, this system combined laser-focused imaging with the ability to calculate distances by measuring the time for a signal to return using appropriate sensors and data acquisition electronics. It was originally called "Colidar" an acronym for "coherent light detecting and ranging",
[12]
derived from the term "
radar
", itself an acronym for "radio detection and ranging". All

laser
rangefinders
, laser altimeters and lidar units are derived from the early colidar systems.
The first practical terrestrial application of a colidar system was the "Colidar Mark II", a large rifle-like laser rangefinder produced in 1963, which had a range of 11 km and an accuracy of 4.5 m, to be used for military targeting.
[13]
[11]
The first mention of lidar as a stand-alone word in 1963 suggests that it originated as a portmanteau of "
light
" and "radar": "Eventually the laser may provide an extremely sensitive detector of particular wavelengths from distant objects. Meanwhile, it is being used to study the Moon by 'lidar' (light radar) ..."
[14]
[15]
The name "
photonic radar
" is sometimes used to mean visible-spectrum range finding like lidar.
[16]
[17]
Lidar's first applications were in meteorology, for which the
National Center for Atmospheric Research
used it to measure
clouds
and pollution.
[18]
The general public became aware of the accuracy and usefulness of lidar systems in 1971 during the
Apollo 15
mission, when astronauts used a laser altimeter to map the surface of the Moon.
Although the English language no longer treats "radar" as an acronym, (i.e., uncapitalized), the word "lidar" was capitalized as "LIDAR" or "LiDAR" in some publications beginning in the 1980s. No consensus exists on capitalization. Various publications refer to lidar as "LIDAR", "LiDAR", "LIDaR", or "Lidar". The
USGS
uses both "LIDAR" and "lidar", sometimes in the same document;
[19]
the
New York Times
predominantly uses "lidar" for staff-written articles,
[20]
although contributing news feeds such as
Reuters
may use Lidar.
[21]
General description
[
edit
]
Lidar uses
ultraviolet
,
visible
, or
near infrared
light to image objects. It can target a wide range of materials, including non-metallic objects, rocks, rain, chemical compounds,
aerosols
, clouds and even single
molecules
.
[6]
A narrow laser beam can map physical features with very high
resolutions
; for example, an aircraft can map terrain at 30-centimetre (12 in) resolution or better.
[22]

Animation of a satellite collecting digital elevation map data over the Ganges and Brahmaputra River basin using lidar
The essential concept of lidar was originated by
E. H. Synge
in 1930, who envisaged the use of powerful searchlights to probe the atmosphere.
[23]
[24]
Indeed, lidar has since been used extensively for atmospheric research and
meteorology
. Lidar instruments fitted to
aircraft
and
satellites
carry out
surveying
and mapping – a recent example being the U.S. Geological Survey Experimental Advanced Airborne Research Lidar.
[25]
NASA
has identified lidar as a key technology for enabling autonomous precision safe landing of future robotic and crewed lunar-landing vehicles.
[26]
Wavelengths vary to suit the target: from about 10
micrometers
(
infrared
) to approximately 250
nanometers
(
ultraviolet
). Typically, light is reflected via
backscattering
, as opposed to pure reflection one might find with a mirror. Different types of scattering are used for different lidar applications: most commonly
Rayleigh scattering
,
Mie scattering
,
Raman scattering
, and
fluorescence
.
[6]
Suitable combinations of wavelengths can allow remote mapping of atmospheric contents by identifying wavelength-dependent changes in the intensity of the returned signal.
[27]
The name "photonic radar" is sometimes used to mean visible-spectrum range finding like lidar,
[16]
[17]
although
photonic radar
more strictly refers to radio-frequency range finding using
photonics
components.
Technology
[
edit
]
Mathematical formula
[
edit
]
A lidar determines the distance of an object or a surface with the
formula
:
[28]
where
c
is the
speed of light
,
d
is the distance between the detector and the object or surface being detected, and
t
is the time spent for the laser light to travel to the object or surface being detected, then travel back to the detector.
Design
[
edit
]
The two kinds of lidar detection schemes are "incoherent" or direct energy detection (which principally measures amplitude changes of the reflected light) and
coherent
detection (best for measuring
Doppler
shifts, or changes in the phase of the reflected light). Coherent systems generally use
optical heterodyne detection
.
[29]
This is more sensitive than direct detection and allows them to operate at much lower power, but requires more complex transceivers.
Both types employ pulse models: either
micropulse
or
high energy
. Micropulse systems utilize intermittent bursts of energy. They developed as a result of ever-increasing computer power, combined with advances in laser technology. They use considerably less energy in the laser, typically on the order of one
microjoule
, and are often "eye-safe", meaning they can be used without safety precautions. High-power systems are common in atmospheric research, where they are widely used for measuring atmospheric parameters: the height, layering and densities of clouds, cloud particle properties (
extinction coefficient
, backscatter coefficient,
depolarization
), temperature, pressure, wind, humidity, and trace gas concentration (ozone, methane, nitrous oxide, etc.).
[6]
Components
[
edit
]
Lidar systems consist of several major components.
Laser
[
edit
]
600?1000
nm
lasers
are most common for non-scientific applications. The maximum power of the laser is limited, or an automatic shut-off system which turns the laser off at specific altitudes is used in order to make it eye-safe for the people on the ground.
One common alternative, 1550 nm lasers, are eye-safe at relatively high power levels since this wavelength is not strongly absorbed by the eye. A trade-off though is that current detector technology is less advanced, so these wavelengths are generally used at longer ranges with lower accuracies. They are also used for military applications because 1550 nm is not visible in
night vision goggles
, unlike the shorter 1000 nm infrared laser.
Airborne topographic mapping lidars generally use 1064 nm diode-pumped
YAG
lasers, while
bathymetric
(underwater depth research) systems generally use 532 nm
frequency-doubled
diode pumped YAG lasers because 532 nm penetrates water with much less
attenuation
than 1064 nm. Laser settings include the laser repetition rate (which controls the data collection speed). Pulse length is generally an attribute of the laser cavity length, the number of passes required through the gain material (YAG,
YLF
, etc.), and
Q-switch
(pulsing) speed. Better target resolution is achieved with shorter pulses, provided the lidar receiver detectors and electronics have sufficient bandwidth.
[6]
Phased arrays
[
edit
]
A
phased array
can illuminate any direction by using a microscopic array of individual antennas. Controlling the timing (phase) of each antenna steers a cohesive signal in a specific direction.
Phased arrays have been used in radar since the 1940s. On the order of a million optical antennas are used to see a radiation pattern of a certain size in a certain direction. To achieve this the phase of each individual antenna (emitter) are precisely controlled. It is very difficult, if possible at all, to use the same technique in a lidar. The main problems are that all individual emitters must be coherent (technically coming from the same "master" oscillator or laser source), have dimensions about the wavelength of the emitted light (1 micron range) to act as a point source with their phases being controlled with high accuracy.
Several companies are working on developing commercial solid-state lidar units but these units utilize a different principle described in a Flash Lidar below.
Microelectromechanical machines
[
edit
]
Microelectromechanical mirrors (MEMS)
are not entirely solid-state. However, their tiny form factor provides many of the same cost benefits. A single laser is directed to a single mirror that can be reoriented to view any part of the target field. The mirror spins at a rapid rate. However, MEMS systems generally operate in a single plane (left to right). To add a second dimension generally requires a second mirror that moves up and down. Alternatively, another laser can hit the same mirror from another angle. MEMS systems can be disrupted by shock/vibration and may require repeated calibration.
[30]
Scanner and optics
[
edit
]
Image development speed is affected by the speed at which they are scanned. Options to scan the
azimuth
and elevation include dual oscillating plane mirrors, a combination with a polygon mirror, and a
dual axis scanner
. Optic choices affect the angular resolution and range that can be detected. A hole mirror or a
beam splitter
are options to collect a return signal.
Photodetector and receiver electronics
[
edit
]
Two main
photodetector
technologies are used in lidar:
solid state
photodetectors, such as silicon avalanche
photodiodes
, or
photomultipliers
. The sensitivity of the receiver is another parameter that has to be balanced in a lidar design.
Position and navigation systems
[
edit
]
Lidar sensors mounted on mobile platforms such as airplanes or satellites require instrumentation to determine the absolute position and orientation of the sensor. Such devices generally include a
Global Positioning System
receiver and an
inertial measurement unit
(IMU).
Sensor
[
edit
]
Lidar uses active sensors that supply their own illumination source. The energy source hits objects and the reflected energy is detected and measured by sensors. Distance to the object is determined by recording the time between transmitted and backscattered pulses and by using the speed of light to calculate the distance traveled.
[31]
Flash lidar allows for 3-D imaging because of the camera's ability to emit a larger flash and sense the spatial relationships and dimensions of area of interest with the returned energy. This allows for more accurate imaging because the captured frames do not need to be stitched together, and the system is not sensitive to platform motion. This results in less distortion.
[32]
3-D imaging can be achieved using both scanning and non-scanning systems. "3-D gated viewing laser radar" is a non-scanning laser ranging system that applies a pulsed laser and a fast gated camera. Research has begun for virtual beam steering using
Digital Light Processing
(DLP) technology.
Imaging lidar can also be performed using arrays of high speed detectors and modulation sensitive detector arrays typically built on single chips using
complementary metal?oxide?semiconductor
(CMOS) and hybrid CMOS/
Charge-coupled device
(CCD) fabrication techniques. In these devices each pixel performs some local processing such as demodulation or gating at high speed, downconverting the signals to video rate so that the array can be read like a camera. Using this technique many thousands of pixels / channels may be acquired simultaneously.
[33]
High resolution 3-D lidar cameras use
homodyne detection
with an electronic CCD or CMOS
shutter
.
[34]
A coherent imaging lidar uses
synthetic array heterodyne detection
to enable a staring single element receiver to act as though it were an imaging array.
[35]
In 2014,
Lincoln Laboratory
announced a new imaging chip with more than 16,384 pixels, each able to image a single photon, enabling them to capture a wide area in a single image. An earlier generation of the technology with one fourth as many pixels was dispatched by the U.S. military after the January 2010 Haiti earthquake. A single pass by a business jet at 3,000 m (10,000 ft) over Port-au-Prince was able to capture instantaneous snapshots of 600 m (2,000 ft) squares of the city at a resolution of 30 cm (1 ft), displaying the precise height of rubble strewn in city streets.
[36]
The new system is ten times better, and could produce much larger maps more quickly. The chip uses
indium gallium arsenide
(InGaAs), which operates in the infrared spectrum at a relatively long wavelength that allows for higher power and longer ranges. In many applications, such as self-driving cars, the new system will lower costs by not requiring a mechanical component to aim the chip. InGaAs uses less hazardous wavelengths than conventional silicon detectors, which operate at visual wavelengths.
[37]
New technologies for infrared
single-photon counting
LIDAR are advancing rapidly, including arrays and cameras in a variety of
semiconductor
and
superconducting
platforms.
[38]
Flash lidar
[
edit
]
In flash lidar, the entire field of view is illuminated with a wide
diverging
laser beam in a single pulse. This is in contrast to conventional scanning lidar, which uses a
collimated laser beam
that illuminates a single point at a time, and the beam is
raster scanned
to illuminate the field of view point-by-point. This illumination method requires a different detection scheme as well. In both scanning and flash lidar, a
time-of-flight camera
is used to collect information about both the 3-D location and intensity of the light incident on it in every frame. However, in scanning lidar, this camera contains only a point sensor, while in flash lidar, the camera contains either a 1-D or a 2-D
sensor array
, each pixel of which collects 3-D location and intensity information. In both cases, the depth information is collected using the
time of flight
of the laser pulse (i.e., the time it takes each laser pulse to hit the target and return to the sensor), which requires the pulsing of the laser and acquisition by the camera to be synchronized.
[39]
The result is a camera that takes pictures of distance, instead of colors.
[30]
Flash lidar is especially advantageous, when compared to scanning lidar, when the camera, scene, or both are moving, since the entire scene is illuminated at the same time. With scanning lidar, motion can cause "jitter" from the lapse in time as the laser rasters over the scene.
As with all forms of lidar, the onboard source of illumination makes flash lidar an active sensor. The signal that is returned is processed by embedded algorithms to produce a nearly instantaneous 3-D rendering of objects and terrain features within the field of view of the sensor.
[40]
The laser pulse repetition frequency is sufficient for generating 3-D videos with high resolution and accuracy.
[39]
[41]
The high frame rate of the sensor makes it a useful tool for a variety of applications that benefit from real-time visualization, such as highly precise remote landing operations.
[42]
By immediately returning a 3-D elevation mesh of target landscapes, a flash sensor can be used to identify optimal landing zones in autonomous spacecraft landing scenarios.
[43]
Seeing at a distance requires a powerful burst of light. The power is limited to levels that do not damage human retinas. Wavelengths must not affect human eyes. However, low-cost silicon imagers do not read light in the eye-safe spectrum. Instead,
gallium-arsenide
imagers are required, which can boost costs to $200,000.
[30]
Gallium-arsenide is the same compound used to produce high-cost, high-efficiency solar panels usually used in space applications.
Classification
[
edit
]
Based on orientation
[
edit
]
Lidar can be oriented to
nadir
,
zenith
, or laterally. For example, lidar altimeters look down, an atmospheric lidar looks up, and lidar-based
collision avoidance systems
are side-looking.
Based on scanning mechanism
[
edit
]
Laser projections of lidars can be manipulated using various methods and mechanisms to produce a scanning effect: the standard spindle-type, which spins to give a 360-degree view; solid-state lidar, which has a fixed field of view, but no moving parts, and can use either MEMS or optical phased arrays to steer the beams; and flash lidar, which spreads a flash of light over a large field of view before the signal bounces back to a detector.
[44]
Based on platform
[
edit
]
Lidar applications can be divided into airborne and terrestrial types.
[45]
The two types require scanners with varying specifications based on the data's purpose, the size of the area to be captured, the range of measurement desired, the cost of equipment, and more. Spaceborne platforms are also possible, see
satellite laser altimetry
.
Airborne
[
edit
]
Airborne lidar (also
airborne laser scanning
) is when a laser scanner, while attached to an aircraft during flight, creates a
3-D point cloud
model of the landscape. This is currently the most detailed and accurate method of creating
digital elevation models
, replacing
photogrammetry
. One major advantage in comparison with photogrammetry is the ability to filter out reflections from vegetation from the point cloud model to create a
digital terrain model
which represents ground surfaces such as rivers, paths, cultural heritage sites, etc., which are concealed by trees. Within the category of airborne lidar, there is sometimes a distinction made between high-altitude and low-altitude applications, but the main difference is a reduction in both accuracy and point density of data acquired at higher altitudes. Airborne lidar can also be used to create bathymetric models in shallow water.
[46]
The main constituents of airborne lidar include
digital elevation models
(DEM) and digital surface models (DSM). The points and ground points are the vectors of discrete points while DEM and DSM are interpolated raster grids of discrete points. The process also involves capturing of digital aerial photographs. To interpret deep-seated landslides for example, under the cover of vegetation, scarps, tension cracks or tipped trees airborne lidar is used. Airborne lidar digital elevation models can see through the canopy of forest cover, perform detailed measurements of scarps, erosion and tilting of electric poles.
[47]
Airborne lidar data is processed using a toolbox called Toolbox for Lidar Data Filtering and Forest Studies (TIFFS)
[48]
for lidar data filtering and terrain study software. The data is interpolated to digital terrain models using the software. The laser is directed at the region to be mapped and each point's height above the ground is calculated by subtracting the original z-coordinate from the corresponding digital terrain model elevation. Based on this height above the ground the non-vegetation data is obtained which may include objects such as buildings, electric power lines, flying birds, insects, etc. The rest of the points are treated as vegetation and used for modeling and mapping. Within each of these plots, lidar metrics are calculated by calculating statistics such as mean, standard deviation, skewness, percentiles, quadratic mean, etc.
[48]
Multiple commercial lidar systems for
unmanned aerial vehicles
are currently on the market. These platforms can systematically scan large areas, or provide a cheaper alternative to manned aircraft for smaller scanning operations.
[49]
Airborne lidar bathymetry
[
edit
]
The airborne lidar
bathymetric
technological system involves the measurement of
time of flight
of a signal from a source to its return to the sensor. The data acquisition technique involves a sea floor mapping component and a ground truth component that includes video transects and sampling. It works using a green spectrum (532 nm) laser beam.
[50]
Two beams are projected onto a fast rotating mirror, which creates an array of points. One of the beams penetrates the water and also detects the bottom surface of the water under favorable conditions.
Water depth measurable by lidar depends on the clarity of the water and the absorption of the wavelength used. Water is most transparent to green and blue light, so these will penetrate deepest in clean water.
[51]
Blue-green light of 532 nm produced by
frequency doubled
solid-state IR laser output is the standard for airborne bathymetry. This light can penetrate water but pulse strength attenuates exponentially with distance traveled through the water.
[50]
Lidar can measure depths from about 0.9 to 40 m (3 to 131 ft), with vertical accuracy in the order of 15 cm (6 in). The surface reflection makes water shallower than about 0.9 m (3 ft) difficult to resolve, and absorption limits the maximum depth. Turbidity causes scattering and has a significant role in determining the maximum depth that can be resolved in most situations, and dissolved pigments can increase absorption depending on wavelength.
[51]
Other reports indicate that water penetration tends to be between two and three times Secchi depth. Bathymetric lidar is most useful in the 0?10 m (0?33 ft) depth range in coastal mapping.
[50]
On average in fairly clear coastal seawater lidar can penetrate to about 7 m (23 ft), and in turbid water up to about 3 m (10 ft). An average value found by Saputra et al, 2021, is for the green laser light to penetrate water about one and a half to two times Secchi depth in Indonesian waters. Water temperature and salinity have an effect on the refractive index which has a small effect on the depth calculation.
[52]
The data obtained shows the full extent of the land surface exposed above the sea floor. This technique is extremely useful as it will play an important role in the major sea floor mapping program. The mapping yields onshore topography as well as underwater elevations. Sea floor reflectance imaging is another solution product from this system which can benefit mapping of underwater habitats. This technique has been used for three-dimensional image mapping of California's waters using a hydrographic lidar.
[53]
Full-waveform lidar
[
edit
]
Airborne lidar systems were traditionally able to acquire only a few peak returns, while more recent systems acquire and digitize the entire reflected signal.
[54]
Scientists analysed the waveform signal for extracting peak returns using
Gaussian decomposition
.
[55]
Zhuang et al, 2017 used this approach for estimating aboveground biomass.
[56]
Handling the huge amounts of full-waveform data is difficult. Therefore, Gaussian decomposition of the waveforms is effective, since it reduces the data and is supported by existing workflows that support interpretation of 3-D
point clouds
. Recent studies investigated
voxelisation
. The intensities of the waveform samples are inserted into a voxelised space (3-D grayscale image) building up a 3-D representation of the scanned area.
[54]
Related metrics and information can then be extracted from that voxelised space. Structural information can be extracted using 3-D metrics from local areas and there is a case study that used the voxelisation approach for detecting dead standing
Eucalypt
trees in Australia.
[57]
Terrestrial
[
edit
]
Terrestrial applications of lidar (also
terrestrial laser scanning
) happen on the Earth's surface and can be either stationary or mobile. Stationary terrestrial scanning is most common as a survey method, for example in conventional topography, monitoring, cultural heritage documentation and forensics.
[45]
The
3-D point clouds
acquired from these types of scanners can be matched with
digital images
taken of the scanned area from the scanner's location to create realistic looking 3-D models in a relatively short time when compared to other technologies. Each point in the
point cloud
is given the colour of the pixel from the image taken at the same location and direction as the laser beam that created the point.
Mobile lidar (also
mobile laser scanning
) is when two or more scanners are attached to a moving vehicle to collect data along a path. These scanners are almost always paired with other kinds of equipment, including
GNSS
receivers and
IMUs
. One example application is surveying streets, where power lines, exact bridge heights, bordering trees, etc. all need to be taken into account. Instead of collecting each of these measurements individually in the field with a
tachymeter
, a 3-D model from a point cloud can be created where all of the measurements needed can be made, depending on the quality of the data collected. This eliminates the problem of forgetting to take a measurement, so long as the model is available, reliable and has an appropriate level of accuracy.
Terrestrial lidar mapping involves a process of
occupancy grid map generation
. The process involves an array of cells divided into grids which employ a process to store the height values when lidar data falls into the respective grid cell. A binary map is then created by applying a particular threshold to the cell values for further processing. The next step is to process the radial distance and z-coordinates from each scan to identify which 3-D points correspond to each of the specified grid cell leading to the process of data formation.
[58]
Applications
[
edit
]
There are a wide variety of lidar applications, in addition to the applications listed below, as it is often mentioned in
National lidar dataset
programs. These applications are largely determined by the range of effective object detection; resolution, which is how accurately the lidar identifies and classifies objects; and reflectance confusion, meaning how well the lidar can see something in the presence of bright objects, like reflective signs or bright sun.
[44]
Companies are working to cut the cost of lidar sensors, currently anywhere from about US$1,200 to more than $12,000. Lower prices will make lidar more attractive for new markets.
[59]
Agriculture
[
edit
]
Agricultural robots
have been used for a variety of purposes ranging from seed and fertilizer dispersions, sensing techniques as well as crop scouting for the task of
weed control
.
Lidar can help determine where to apply costly fertilizer. It can create a topographical map of the fields and reveal slopes and sun exposure of the farmland. Researchers at the
Agricultural Research Service
used this topographical data with the farmland yield results from previous years, to categorize land into zones of high, medium, or low yield.
[60]
This indicates where to apply fertilizer to maximize yield.
Lidar is now used to monitor insects in the field. The use of lidar can detect the movement and behavior of individual flying insects, with identification down to sex and species.
[61]
In 2017 a patent application was published on this technology in the United States, Europe, and China.
[62]
Another application is crop mapping in orchards and vineyards, to detect foliage growth and the need for pruning or other maintenance, detect variations in fruit production, or count plants.
Lidar is useful in
GNSS
-denied situations, such as nut and fruit orchards, where foliage causes
interference
for agriculture equipment that would otherwise utilize a precise GNSS fix. Lidar sensors can detect and track the relative position of rows, plants, and other markers so that farming equipment can continue operating until a GNSS fix is reestablished.
Plant species classification
[
edit
]
Controlling weeds requires identifying plant species. This can be done by using 3-D lidar and machine learning.
[63]
Lidar produces plant contours as a "point cloud" with range and reflectance values. This data is transformed, and features are extracted from it. If the species is known, the features are added as new data. The species is labelled and its features are initially stored as an example to identify the species in the real environment. This method is efficient because it uses a low-resolution lidar and supervised learning. It includes an easy-to-compute feature set with common statistical features which are independent of the plant size.
[63]
Archaeology
[
edit
]
Lidar has many uses in archaeology, including planning of field campaigns, mapping features under forest canopy, and overview of broad, continuous features indistinguishable from the ground.
[64]
Lidar can produce high-resolution datasets quickly and cheaply. Lidar-derived products can be easily integrated into a Geographic Information System (GIS) for analysis and interpretation.
Lidar can also help to create high-resolution digital elevation models (DEMs) of archaeological sites that can reveal micro-topography that is otherwise hidden by vegetation. The intensity of the returned lidar signal can be used to detect features buried under flat vegetated surfaces such as fields, especially when mapping using the infrared spectrum. The presence of these features affects plant growth and thus the amount of infrared light reflected back.
[65]
For example, at
Fort Beausejour
? Fort Cumberland National Historic Site, Canada, lidar discovered archaeological features related to the siege of the Fort in 1755. Features that could not be distinguished on the ground or through aerial photography were identified by overlaying hill shades of the DEM created with artificial illumination from various angles. Another example is work at
Caracol
by
Arlen Chase
and his wife
Diane Zaino Chase
.
[66]
In 2012, lidar was used to search for the legendary city of
La Ciudad Blanca
or "City of the Monkey God" in the
La Mosquitia
region of the Honduran jungle. During a seven-day mapping period, evidence was found of man-made structures.
[67]
[68]
In June 2013, the rediscovery of the city of
Mahendraparvata
was announced.
[69]
In southern New England, lidar was used to reveal stone walls, building foundations, abandoned roads, and other landscape features obscured in aerial photography by the region's dense forest canopy.
[70]
[71]
[72]
In Cambodia, lidar data were used by
Damian Evans
and Roland Fletcher to reveal anthropogenic changes to Angkor landscape.
[73]
In 2012, lidar revealed that the
Purepecha
settlement of
Angamuco
in
Michoacan
, Mexico had about as many buildings as today's Manhattan;
[74]
while in 2016, its use in mapping ancient Maya causeways in northern Guatemala, revealed 17 elevated roads linking the ancient city of
El Mirador
to other sites.
[75]
[76]
In 2018, archaeologists using lidar discovered more than 60,000 man-made structures in the
Maya Biosphere Reserve
, a "major breakthrough" that showed the
Maya civilization
was much larger than previously thought.

]
Autonomous vehicles
may use lidar for obstacle detection and avoidance to navigate safely through environments.
[7]
[90]
The introduction of lidar was a pivotal occurrence that was the key enabler behind
Stanley
, the first autonomous vehicle to successfully complete the
DARPA Grand Challenge
.
[91]
Point cloud output from the lidar sensor provides the necessary data for robot software to determine where potential obstacles exist in the environment and where the robot is in relation to those potential obstacles. Singapore's
Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology (SMART)
is actively developing technologies for autonomous lidar vehicles.
[92]
The
very first generations
of automotive
adaptive cruise control
systems used only lidar sensors.
Object detection for transportation systems
[
edit
]
In transportation systems, to ensure vehicle and passenger safety and to develop electronic systems that deliver driver assistance, understanding the vehicle and its surrounding environment is essential. Lidar systems play an important role in the safety of transportation systems. Many electronic systems which add to the driver assistance and vehicle safety such as Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Emergency Brake Assist, and
Anti-lock Braking System
(ABS) depend on the detection of a vehicle's environment to act autonomously or semi-autonomously. Lidar mapping and estimation achieve this.
Basics overview: Current lidar systems use rotating hexagonal mirrors which split the laser beam. The upper three beams are used for vehicle and obstacles ahead and the lower beams are used to detect lane markings and road features.
[93]
The major advantage of using lidar is that the spatial structure is obtained and this data can be fused with other sensors such as
radar
, etc. to get a better picture of the vehicle environment in terms of static and dynamic properties of the objects present in the environment. Conversely, a significant issue with lidar is the difficulty in reconstructing point cloud data in poor weather conditions. In heavy rain, for example, the light pulses emitted from the lidar system are partially reflected off of rain droplets which adds noise to the data, called 'echoes'.
[94]
Below mentioned are various approaches of processing lidar data and using it along with data from other sensors through sensor fusion to detect the vehicle environment conditions.
Obstacle detection and road environment recognition using lidar
[
edit
]
This method proposed by Kun Zhou et al.
[95]
not only focuses on object detection and tracking but also recognizes lane marking and road features. As mentioned earlier the lidar systems use rotating hexagonal mirrors that split the laser beam into six beams. The upper three layers are used to detect the forward objects such as vehicles and roadside objects. The sensor is made of weather-resistant material. The data detected by lidar are clustered to several segments and tracked by
Kalman filter
. Data clustering here is done based on characteristics of each segment based on object model, which distinguish different objects such as vehicles, signboards, etc. These characteristics include the dimensions of the object, etc. The reflectors on the rear edges of vehicles are used to differentiate vehicles from other objects. Object tracking is done using a two-stage Kalman filter considering the stability of tracking and the accelerated motion of objects
[93]
Lidar reflective intensity data is also used for curb detection by making use of robust regression to deal with occlusions. The road marking is detected using a modified Otsu method by distinguishing rough and shiny surfaces.
[96]
- Advantages
Roadside reflectors that indicate lane border are sometimes hidden due to various reasons. Therefore, other information is needed to recognize the road border. The lidar used in this method can measure the reflectivity from the object. Hence, with this data the road border can also be recognized. Also, the usage of a sensor with weather-robust head helps to detect the objects even in bad weather conditions. Canopy Height Model before and after flood is a good example. Lidar can detect highly detailed canopy height data as well as its road border.
Lidar measurements help identify the spatial structure of the obstacle. This helps distinguish objects based on size and estimate the impact of driving over it.
[97]
Lidar systems provide better range and a large field of view, which helps in detecting obstacles on the curves. This is one of its major advantages over
RADAR systems
, which have a narrower field of view. The fusion of lidar measurement with different sensors makes the system robust and useful in real-time applications, since lidar dependent systems can't estimate the dynamic information about the detected object.
[97]
It has been shown that lidar can be manipulated, such that self-driving cars are tricked into taking evasive action.
[98]
Ecology and conservation
[
edit
]
Lidar has also found many applications for mapping natural and managed landscapes such as forests, wetlands,
[99]
and grasslands.
Canopy
heights,
biomass
measurements, and leaf area can all be studied using airborne lidar systems.
[100]
[101]
[102]
[103]
Similarly, lidar is also used by many industries, including Energy and Railroad, and the Department of Transportation as a faster way of surveying. Topographic maps can also be generated readily from lidar, including for recreational use such as in the production of
orienteering
maps.
[104]
Lidar has also been applied to estimate and assess the biodiversity of plants, fungi, and animals.
[105]
[106]
[107]
Using
southern bull kelp
in New Zealand, coastal lidar mapping data has been compared with
population genomic
evidence to form hypotheses regarding the occurrence and timing of prehistoric earthquake uplift events.
[108]
Forestry
[
edit
]
Lidar systems have also been applied to improve forestry management.
[110]
Measurements are used to take inventory in forest plots as well as calculate individual tree heights, crown width and crown diameter. Other statistical analysis use lidar data to estimate total plot information such as canopy volume, mean, minimum and maximum heights, vegetation cover, biomass, and carbon density.
[109]
Aerial lidar has been used to map the bush fires in Australia in early 2020. The data was manipulated to view bare earth, and identify healthy and burned vegetation.
[111]
Geology and soil science
[
edit
]
High-resolution
digital elevation maps
generated by airborne and stationary lidar have led to significant advances in
geomorphology
(the branch of geoscience concerned with the origin and evolution of the Earth surface topography). The lidar abilities to detect subtle topographic features such as river terraces and river channel banks,
[112]
glacial landforms,
[113]
to measure the land-surface elevation beneath the vegetation canopy, to better resolve spatial derivatives of elevation, to rockfall detection,
[114]
[115]
to detect elevation changes between repeat surveys
[116]
have enabled many novel studies of the physical and chemical processes that shape landscapes.
[117]
In 2005 the
Tour Ronde
in the
Mont Blanc massif
became the first high
alpine mountain
on which lidar was employed to monitor the increasing occurrence of severe rock-fall over large rock faces allegedly caused by climate change and degradation of permafrost at high altitude.
[118]
Lidar is also used in
structural geology
and geophysics as a combination between airborne lidar and
GNSS
for the detection and study of
faults
, for measuring
uplift
.
[119]
The output of the two technologies can produce extremely accurate elevation models for terrain ? models that can even measure ground elevation through trees. This combination was used most famously to find the location of the
Seattle Fault
in
Washington
, United States.
[120]
This combination also measures uplift at
Mount St. Helens
by using data from before and after the 2004 uplift.
[121]
Airborne lidar systems monitor
glaciers
and have the ability to detect subtle amounts of growth or decline. A satellite-based system, the
NASA
ICESat
, includes a lidar sub-system for this purpose. The NASA Airborne Topographic Mapper
[122]
is also used extensively to monitor
glaciers
and perform coastal change analysis.
The combination is also used by soil scientists while creating a
soil survey
. The detailed terrain modeling allows soil scientists to see slope changes and landform breaks which indicate patterns in soil spatial relationships.
Atmosphere
[
edit
]
Initially, based on
ruby lasers
, lidar for meteorological applications was constructed shortly after the invention of the laser and represents one of the first applications of laser technology. Lidar technology has since expanded vastly in capability and lidar systems are used to perform a range of measurements that include profiling clouds, measuring winds, studying
aerosols
, and quantifying various atmospheric components. Atmospheric components can in turn provide useful information including
surface pressure
(by measuring the absorption of
oxygen
or
nitrogen
),
greenhouse gas
emissions (
carbon dioxide
and
methane
),
photosynthesis
(carbon dioxide),
fires
(
carbon monoxide
), and
humidity
(
water vapor
). Atmospheric lidars can be either ground-based, airborne or satellite-based depending on the type of measurement.
Atmospheric lidar
remote sensing
works in two ways ?
- by measuring
backscatter
from the atmosphere, and
- by measuring the scattered reflection off the ground (when the lidar is airborne) or other hard surface.
Backscatter from the atmosphere directly gives a measure of clouds and aerosols. Other derived measurements from backscatter such as winds or cirrus ice crystals require careful selecting of the wavelength and/or polarization detected.
Doppler lidar
and
Rayleigh Doppler lidar
are used to measure temperature and wind speed along the beam by measuring the frequency of the backscattered light. The
Doppler broadening
of gases in motion allows the determination of properties via the resulting frequency shift.
[123]
Scanning lidars, such as
NASA
's conical-scanning HARLIE, have been used to measure atmospheric wind velocity.
[124]
The
ESA
wind mission
ADM-Aeolus
will be equipped with a Doppler lidar system in order to provide global measurements of vertical wind profiles.
[125]
A doppler lidar system was used in the
2008 Summer Olympics
to measure wind fields during the yacht competition.
[126]
Doppler lidar systems are also now beginning to be successfully applied in the renewable energy sector to acquire wind speed, turbulence, wind veer, and wind shear data. Both pulsed and continuous wave systems are being used. Pulsed systems use signal timing to obtain vertical distance resolution, whereas continuous wave systems rely on detector focusing.
The term,
eolics
, has been proposed to describe the collaborative and interdisciplinary study of wind using computational fluid mechanics simulations and Doppler lidar measurements.
[127]
The ground reflection of an airborne lidar gives a measure of surface reflectivity (assuming the atmospheric transmittance is well known) at the lidar wavelength, however, the ground reflection is typically used for making absorption measurements of the atmosphere. "Differential absorption lidar" (DIAL) measurements utilize two or more closely spaced (less than 1 nm) wavelengths to factor out surface reflectivity as well as other transmission losses, since these factors are relatively insensitive to wavelength. When tuned to the appropriate absorption lines of a particular gas, DIAL measurements can be used to determine the concentration (mixing ratio) of that particular gas in the atmosphere. This is referred to as an
Integrated Path Differential Absorption
(IPDA) approach, since it is a measure of the integrated absorption along the entire lidar path. IPDA lidars can be either pulsed
[128]
[129]
or CW
[130]
and typically use two or more wavelengths.
[131]
IPDA lidars have been used for remote sensing of carbon dioxide
[128]
[129]
[130]
and methane.
[132]
Synthetic array
lidar
allows imaging lidar without the need for an array detector. It can be used for imaging Doppler velocimetry, ultra-fast frame rate imaging (millions of frames per second), as well as for
speckle
reduction in coherent lidar.
[35]
An extensive lidar bibliography for atmospheric and hydrospheric applications is given by Grant.
[133]
Law enforcement
[
edit
]
Lidar speed guns are used by the police to measure the speed of vehicles for
speed limit enforcement
purposes.
[134]
Additionally, it is used in forensics to aid in crime scene investigations. Scans of a scene are taken to record exact details of object placement, blood, and other important information for later review. These scans can also be used to determine bullet trajectory in cases of shootings.
[135]
Military
[
edit
]
Few military applications are known to be in place and are classified (such as the lidar-based speed measurement of the
AGM-129 ACM
stealth nuclear cruise missile), but a considerable amount of research is underway in their use for imaging. Higher resolution systems collect enough detail to identify targets, such as
tanks
. Examples of military applications of lidar include the Airborne Laser Mine Detection System (ALMDS) for counter-mine warfare by Arete Associates.
[136]
A NATO report (RTO-TR-SET-098) evaluated the potential technologies to do stand-off detection for the discrimination of biological warfare agents. The potential technologies evaluated were Long-Wave Infrared (LWIR), Differential Scattering (DISC), and Ultraviolet Laser Induced Fluorescence (UV-LIF). The report concluded that :
Based upon the results of the lidar systems tested and discussed above, the Task Group recommends that the best option for the near-term (2008?2010) application of stand-off detection systems is UV-LIF
,
[137]
however, in the long-term, other techniques such as stand-off
Raman spectroscopy
may prove to be useful for identification of biological warfare agents.
Short-range compact spectrometric lidar based on Laser-Induced Fluorescence (LIF) would address the presence of bio-threats in aerosol form over critical indoor, semi-enclosed and outdoor venues such as stadiums, subways, and airports. This near real-time capability would enable rapid detection of a bioaerosol release and allow for timely implementation of measures to protect occupants and minimize the extent of contamination.
[138]
The Long-Range Biological Standoff Detection System (LR-BSDS) was developed for the U.S. Army to provide the earliest possible standoff warning of a biological attack. It is an airborne system carried by helicopter to detect synthetic aerosol clouds containing biological and chemical agents at long range. The LR-BSDS, with a detection range of 30 km or more, was fielded in June 1997.
[139]
Five lidar units produced by the German company
Sick AG
were used for short range detection on
Stanley
, the
autonomous car
that won the 2005
DARPA Grand Challenge
.
A robotic
Boeing AH-6
performed a fully autonomous flight in June 2010, including avoiding obstacles using lidar.
[140]
[141]
Mining
[
edit
]
For the calculation of ore volumes is accomplished by periodic (monthly) scanning in areas of ore removal, then comparing surface data to the previous scan.
[142]
Lidar sensors may also be used for obstacle detection and avoidance for robotic mining vehicles such as in the Komatsu Autonomous Haulage System (AHS)
[143]
used in Rio Tinto's Mine of the Future.
Physics and astronomy
[
edit
]
A worldwide network of observatories uses
lidars to measure the distance to reflectors placed on the Moon
, allowing the position of the Moon to be measured with millimeter precision and
tests of general relativity
to be done.
MOLA
, the
Mars
Orbiting Laser Altimeter, used a lidar instrument in a Mars-orbiting satellite (the NASA
Mars Global Surveyor
) to produce a spectacularly precise global topographic survey of the red planet. Laser altimeters produced global elevation models of Mars, the Moon (Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter (LOLA)) Mercury (Mercury Laser Altimeter (MLA)), NEAR?Shoemaker Laser Rangefinder (NLR).
[144]
Future missions will also include laser altimeter experiments such as the Ganymede Laser Altimeter (GALA) as part of the Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (JUICE) mission.
[144]
In September, 2008, the NASA
Phoenix
Lander
used lidar to detect snow in the atmosphere of Mars.
[145]
In atmospheric physics, lidar is used as a remote detection instrument to measure densities of certain constituents of the middle and upper atmosphere, such as
potassium
,
sodium
, or molecular
nitrogen
and
oxygen
. These measurements can be used to calculate temperatures. Lidar can also be used to measure wind speed and to provide information about vertical distribution of the
aerosol
particles.
[146]
At the
JET
nuclear fusion
research facility, in the UK near
Abingdon, Oxfordshire
, lidar
Thomson Scattering
is used to determine
Electron
Density and Temperature profiles of the
plasma
.
[147]
Rock mechanics
[
edit
]
Lidar has been widely used in rock mechanics for rock mass characterization and slope change detection. Some important geomechanical properties from the rock mass can be extracted from the 3-D point clouds obtained by means of the lidar. Some of these properties are:
Some of these properties have been used to assess the geomechanical quality of the rock mass through the
RMR
index. Moreover, as the orientations of discontinuities can be extracted using the existing methodologies, it is possible to assess the geomechanical quality of a rock slope through the
SMR
index.
[154]
In addition to this, the comparison of different 3-D point clouds from a slope acquired at different times allows researchers to study the changes produced on the scene during this time interval as a result of rockfalls or any other landsliding processes.
[155]
[156]
[157]
THOR
[
edit
]
THOR is a laser designed toward measuring Earth's atmospheric conditions. The laser enters a cloud cover
[158]
and measures the thickness of the return halo. The sensor has a fiber optic aperture with a width of
7
+
1
⁄
2
inches (19 cm) that is used to measure the return light.
Robotics
[
edit
]
Lidar technology is being used in
robotics
for the perception of the environment as well as object classification.
[159]
The ability of lidar technology to provide three-dimensional elevation maps of the terrain, high precision distance to the ground, and approach velocity can enable safe landing of robotic and crewed vehicles with a high degree of precision.
[26]
Lidar are also widely used in robotics for
simultaneous localization and mapping
and well integrated into robot simulators.
[160]
Refer to the Military section above for further examples.
Spaceflight
[
edit
]
Lidar is increasingly being utilized for
rangefinding
and
orbital element
calculation of
relative velocity
in
proximity operations
and
stationkeeping
of
spacecraft
. Lidar has also been used for
atmospheric
studies from space. Short pulses of laser light beamed from a spacecraft can reflect off tiny particles in the atmosphere and back to a telescope aligned with the spacecraft laser. By precisely timing the lidar echo, and by measuring how much laser light is received by the telescope, scientists can accurately determine the location, distribution and nature of the particles. The result is a revolutionary new tool for studying constituents in the atmosphere, from cloud droplets to industrial pollutants, which are difficult to detect by other means."
[161]
[162]
Laser altimetry is used to make
digital elevation maps
of planets, including the
Mars Orbital Laser Altimeter
(MOLA) mapping of Mars,
[163]
the
Lunar Orbital Laser Altimeter
(LOLA)
[164]
and Lunar Altimeter (LALT) mapping of the Moon, and the Mercury Laser Altimeter (MLA) mapping of Mercury.
[165]
It is also used to help navigate the
helicopter
Ingenuity
in its record-setting flights over the terrain of
Mars
.
[8]
Surveying
[
edit
]
Airborne lidar sensors are used by companies in the remote sensing field. They can be used to create a DTM (Digital Terrain Model) or DEM (
Digital Elevation Model
); this is quite a common practice for larger areas as a plane can acquire
3?4 km (2?
2
+
1
⁄
2
mi) wide swaths in a single flyover. Greater vertical accuracy of below 50 mm (2 in) can be achieved with a lower flyover, even in forests, where it is able to give the height of the canopy as well as the ground elevation. Typically, a GNSS receiver configured over a georeferenced control point is needed to link the data in with the
WGS
(
World Geodetic System
).
[166]
Lidar is also in use in
hydrographic surveying
. Depending upon the clarity of the water lidar can measure depths from 0.9 to 40 m (3 to 131 ft) with a vertical accuracy of 15 cm (6 in) and horizontal accuracy of 2.5 m (8 ft).
[167]
Transport
[
edit
]
Lidar has been used in the railroad industry to generate asset health reports for asset management and by departments of transportation to assess their road conditions. CivilMaps.com is a leading company in the field.
[168]
Lidar has been used in
adaptive cruise control
(ACC) systems for automobiles. Systems such as those by Siemens, Hella, Ouster and Cepton use a lidar device mounted on the front of the vehicle, such as the bumper, to monitor the distance between the vehicle and any vehicle in front of it.
[169]
In the event, the vehicle in front slows down or is too close, the ACC applies the brakes to slow the vehicle. When the road ahead is clear, the ACC allows the vehicle to accelerate to a speed preset by the driver. Refer to the Military section above for further examples. A lidar-based device, the
Ceilometer
is used at airports worldwide to measure the height of clouds on runway approach paths.

Wind farm optimization
[
edit
]
Lidar can be used to increase the energy output from
wind farms
by accurately measuring wind speeds and wind turbulence.
[171]
[172]
Experimental lidar systems
[173]
[174]
can be mounted on the
nacelle
[175]
of a
wind turbine
or integrated into the rotating spinner
[176]
to measure oncoming horizontal winds,
[177]
winds in the wake of the wind turbine,
[178]
and proactively adjust blades to protect components and increase power. Lidar is also used to characterise the incident wind resource for comparison with wind turbine power production to verify the performance of the wind turbine
[179]
by measuring the wind turbine's power curve.
[180]
Wind farm optimization can be considered a topic in
applied eolics
. Another aspect of lidar in wind related industry is to use
computational fluid dynamics
over lidar-scanned surfaces in order to assess the wind potential,
[181]
which can be used for optimal wind farms placement.
Solar photovoltaic deployment optimization
[
edit
]
Lidar can also be used to assist planners and developers in optimizing solar
photovoltaic
systems at the city level by determining appropriate roof tops
[182]
[183]
and for determining
shading
losses.
[184]
Recent airborne laser scanning efforts have focused on ways to estimate the amount of solar light hitting vertical building facades,
[185]
or by incorporating more detailed shading losses by considering the influence from vegetation and larger surrounding terrain.
[186]
Video games
[
edit
]
Recent simulation racing games such as
rFactor Pro
,
iRacing
,
Assetto Corsa
and
Project CARS
increasingly feature race tracks reproduced from 3-D point clouds acquired through lidar surveys, resulting in surfaces replicated with centimeter or millimeter precision in the in-game 3-D environment.
[187]
[188]
[189]
The 2017 exploration game
Scanner Sombre
, by
Introversion Software
, uses lidar as a fundamental game mechanic.
In
Build the Earth
, lidar is used to create accurate renders of terrain in
Minecraft
to account for any errors (mainly regarding elevation) in the default generation. The process of rendering terrain into Build the Earth is limited by the amount of data available in region as well as the speed it takes to convert the file into block data.
Other uses
[
edit
]
The video for the 2007 song "
House of Cards
" by
Radiohead
was believed to be the first use of real-time 3-D laser scanning to record a music video. The range data in the video is not completely from a lidar, as structured light scanning is also used.
[190]
In 2020,
Apple
introduced the
fourth generation of iPad Pro
with a lidar sensor integrated into the rear
camera module
, especially developed for
augmented reality
(AR) experiences.
[191]
The feature was later included in the
iPhone 12 Pro lineup
and subsequent Pro models.
[192]
On Apple devices, lidar empowers portrait mode pictures with night mode, quickens
auto focus
and improves accuracy in the
Measure
app.
In 2022,
Wheel of Fortune
started using lidar technology to track when
Vanna White
moves her hand over the puzzle board to reveal letters. The first episode to have this technology was in the Season 40 premiere.
[193]
Alternative technologies
[
edit
]
Computer stereo vision
has shown promise as an alternative to lidar for close range applications.
