LIDAR is a system of rotating lasers and detectors that measure the distance to objects in the path of the laser beam.
The laser light pulse is reflected from the object and returns to the detector.
LIDAR measures the time difference between sending a pulse and returning it.
Based on this time difference, the distance to the object is calculated.
The high rotational speed of the matrix combined with the operating frequency of the pulsed laser allows for
obtaining from several thousand to several million points per second. The LIDAR-equipped backpack is capable of
generate enough points to map the area to create a situational map. LIDAR makes it possible
accurate measurement independent of vegetation, because the detector registers reflection from the ground, ignoring previous reflections
reflections from leaves or small branches.
