A team of scientists have integrated an ultrasensative sensor called a “superconducting nanowire single-photon detector,” or ...

Imagine being able to capture a high-resolution 3D image of a distant object—even a human face—through fog, foliage, or ...

The team said the system could lead to “step change improvements” in applications such as facial and human activity ...

A lidar scanner has a resolution so high it can image ridges and indentations of only 1 millimetre on objects hundreds of ...

A project led by Heriot-Watt University has developed a novel single-photon detection system set to improve the performance of lidar systems. Described in Optica, the detector "can generate ...

If you’ve got good eyesight, you can probably see a person’s general figure from around 300 meters (1000 feet). If you’re ...

AI and 3D airborne laser scanning have been used to map radiata pine forests for most of New Zealand’s North Island.

Researchers have designed a single-photon time-of-flight LiDAR system that can acquire a high-resolution 3D image of an object or scene up to 1 kilometer away. The new system could help enhance ...

The innovative single-photon time-of-flight LiDAR system provides detailed 3D imaging from 1 km, enabling better object ...
