Product and Market Insights:

Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) is a sensing technology used for measuring distance to a target using laser light. Unlike radar technology, LiDAR uses short wavelength waves for measuring the distance. The technology is used to get 3-dimensional information regarding the shape and surface characteristics of the target, thereby enabling scientists and mapping experts to study and examine their target with accuracy and precision. Although the use of LiDAR technology was initially limited to defense, government, and corridor mapping applications, increased awareness regarding the benefits offered (cost, accuracy, reach, etc.) have extended their applications to disaster preparedness and risk study, transportation, and power transmission among others. The global LiDAR market is still in the nascent stage of development and is poised to offer strong business and investment opportunities over the forecast period 2016 2023. 

Competitive Insights:

Some of the leading players in the global LiDAR market include Quantum Spatial (Aerometric, Inc.), Leica Geosystems AG, Riegl Laser Measurement Systems GmbH, Faro Technology, Optech Inc., Trimble Navigation Limited, 3D Laser Mapping, GeoDigital, Airborne Imaging Inc., Avent Lidar Technology, Renishaw Plc, Michael Baker International, Sick AG, Topcon Positioning Systems, Inc., YellowScan, Velodyne LiDAR, Inc., and Geokno India Pvt. Ltd. among others. In order to sustain in this highly competitive market, manufacturers and technology developers are required to invest substantially in research and development and focus on product innovation. In view of future prospect, the manufacturers have already started accelerating their efforts to develop advanced unmanned aerial vehicle systems capable of offering advanced airborne imaging capability. The competitive rivalry among current market players is comparatively high and is expected to remain high throughout the forecast period 2016 - 2023.

The adoption of LiDAR technology has been comparatively greater in the developed economies like North America and Europe. However, penetration in emerging economies has begun to gather momentum with technological advancements and growing awareness regarding the benefits offered by the technology. In addition, government initiatives to promote foreign investment in the geospatial industry have had positive impact on demand for LiDAR systems. With the advancements in technology and lowering costs, LiDAR has offered precise 3D capability to just about everyone who uses a map.

Lidar (also called LIDAR, LiDAR, and LADAR) is a surveying method that measures distance to a target by illuminating the target with pulsed laser light and measuring the reflected pulses with a sensor. Differences in laser return times and wavelengths can then be used to make digital 3-D representations of the target. The name lidar, now used as an acronym of light detection and ranging(sometimes light imaging, detection, and ranging), was originally a portmanteau of light and radar. Lidar sometimes is called laser scanning and 3-D scanning, with terrestrial, airborne, and mobile applications.

Lidar is commonly used to make high-resolution maps, with applications in geodesy, geomatics, archaeology, geography, geology, geomorphology, seismology, forestry, atmospheric physics,[4] laser guidance, airborne laser swath mapping (ALSM), and laser altimetry. The technology is also used in control and navigation for some autonomous cars.

What is LIDAR?

LIDAR, which stands for Light Detection and Ranging, is a remote sensing method that uses light in the form of a pulsed laser to measure ranges (variable distances) to the Earth. These light pulsescombined with other data recorded by the airborne system generate precise, three-dimensional information about the shape of the Earth and its surface characteristics.

A LIDAR instrument principally consists of a laser, a scanner, and a specialized GPS receiver. Airplanes and helicopters are the most commonly used platforms for acquiring LIDAR data over broad areas. Two types of LIDAR are topographic and bathymetric. Topographic LIDAR typically uses a near-infrared laser to map the land, while bathymetric lidar uses water-penetrating green light to also measure seafloor and riverbed elevations.

LIDAR systems allow scientists and mapping professionals to examine both natural and manmade environments with accuracy, precision, and flexibility. NOAA scientists are using LIDAR to produce more accurate shoreline maps, make digital elevation models for use in geographic information systems, to assist in emergency response operations, and in many other applications.

LIDAR data sets for many coastal areas can be downloaded from the Office for Coastal Management Digital Coast web portal. [Ref: oceanservice.noaa.gov]
