In modern technology, LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) has emerged as a game-changer, revolutionizing how we collect and utilize spatial data. Traditionally, methods like photogrammetry have been the go-to for various applications, but they come with challenges, especially when the sun sets. Enter LiDAR, mainly when used at night, and the advantages become crystal clear. In this blog post, we'll explore the potential and benefits of LiDAR at night and compare it with the more traditional photogrammetry method.
Challenges of photogrammetry at night
While photogrammetry has been a reliable method for data collection during daylight hours, it faces significant limitations when the sun goes down:
LiDAR: A beam of hope in the dark
LiDAR, on the other hand, operates on a different principle altogether. It emits laser pulses and measures the time it takes for the light to bounce back, creating precise 3D point clouds. Here's why LiDAR shines, especially at night:
