LiDAR, or Light Detection and Ranging, works by measuring the time it takes for a laser pulse to travel to an object and back ...

This 3D-printed confocal laser scanning microscope is a good example of an instrument for measuring really small stuff. As [Zachary Tong] points out, confocal scanning microscopy uses a clever ...

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 ...

LiDAR stands for Light Detection and Ranging, a remote sensing technology that uses pulses of laser light to measure variable ...

The result is a 3D point cloud in which each point stands for a laser pulse or distance measurement. There is also a camera system with up to six cameras. The images from the cameras are used to ...

Your smartphone detects defects smaller than a virus using AOI, laser, and X-ray systems. These machines don’t just see—they think. These innovations, from ...
