Description:


    In many applications, from movie sets to architecture, long-range laser scanning technology has emerged as a system for capturing complex structures and surfaces. LIDAR scanning measures 100 meters away with six millimeters of accuracy by measuring the time it takes for a pulsed laser beam to hit a surface and make its return. The scanner records the point into a 3D visualization program. This animation highlights the broad range of applications for LIDAR scanning and Cyra’s research and development in this new industry.
