Role Of LIDAR Units In Drones – DEEP AERO DRONES – Medium

Gathering the data via drone is well understood as it offers number of benefits. But the logistics of mounting a LIDAR unit onto a drone proved to be challenging for many users. Scanfly, a payload LIDAR, can easily be installed on most of the drones, due to its compact shape and weight. It can also be installed on a backpack or vehicle, which ensures users have options when it comes to where and how they utilize the technology. Scanfly is able to combine real-time GPS information with onboard instrument measurements so that users are always dealing with georefrenced data. The LIDAR technology helps users to discriminate details like top of the tree from undergrowth to obtain automatically accurate measurements.
