[3] [5] Lidar data was used because Lidar produces high resolution terrain data through forest cover, [2] and the technology has been used to discover other unknown Maya sites in the past. However, it being expensive, these researchers used preexisting Lidar data from a 2013 forest monitoring project by the Mexican branch of The Nature Conservancy.
One of the most significant initial discoveries on that front was found in 1929 at a site near Clovis, New Mexico. Mammoth bones and stone tools at the site date back to 13,000 years ago.
AEye, a lidar startup that developed its technology for use in autonomous vehicles as well as to support advanced driver assistance systems in passenger cars, is going public through a merger with ...
The project continued to attract new members, with the Australian National University and University of Adelaide contributing to Advanced LIGO, and by the time the LIGO Laboratory started the first observing run 'O1' with the Advanced LIGO detectors in September 2015, the LIGO Scientific Collaboration included more than 900 scientists worldwide ...
Luminar's latest lidar sensor, Halo, is smaller than previous generation sensors and will blend into the roofline of a car or behind th Luminar unveils new compact lidar sensor Halo, tie-up with ...
On October 15, 2016, ScanPyramids confirmed their first unknown void discoveries thanks to muon tomography in the Great Pyramid. [11] [12] A previously unknown cavity [13] was confirmed on the North-Eastern Edge, [14] roughly at 110 metres (360 ft) high with similar void volume characteristics as a known "cave" located at 83 metres (272 ft) on the same edge.
Lidar (/ ˈ l aɪ d ɑːr /, also LIDAR, 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.
Elkins and Benenson [5] were selected as two of Foreign Policy Magazine's Leading Global Thinkers of the Year [6] for proving airborne lidar could successfully be used as a tool of discovery and exploration in extremely thick jungle canopy. Their project was featured in the May 2013 issue of The New Yorker magazine titled, "The Eldorado Machine."
