Use Cases for the RESEPI
Remote Sensing with LiDAR
Sometimes called a 3D laser scanner, LiDAR is a surveying method that measures the distance to a target by illuminating the target with pulsed laser light and measuring the reflected pulses with a sensor. It has terrestrial, airborne, and mobile applications. Some models of 3D LiDAR can generate up to 700,000 data points per second. There are plenty of exceptional producers on the market, for example, Quanergy® and Velodyne®.
Scanning and Mapping
Perhaps area mapping is still the most significant domain for remote sensing. Making sense of the physical world by analyzing maps and 3D models allows businesses to make faster and more informed decisions that increase efficiency and profit and, more importantly, improve safety. A few of the most often used bases can be on our land vehicles or Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV).
Precision Agriculture with LiDAR
LiDAR technology is instrumental in developing 3D farmland models, aiding crop planning, and producing accurate maps of natural resources. In addition, it can be used in crop yield forecasting, field management, land segmentation, and determination of soil type.
Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) Algorithm Development
RESEPI can generate a point cloud in real time. This feature, aiding imagery from other optical sources such as RGB and thermal cameras, can lay the foundation for SLAM algorithm development.
Utility Inspection
Drones equipped with LiDAR and Photogrammetry technology are a much cheaper and safer option when compared to other aerial scanning methods or manual inspection. With innovative LiDAR and Photogrammetry algorithms, users can reconstruct utilities and identify potential hazards and damages.
Construction Site Monitoring
Drones equipped with RGB cameras and LiDAR technology enable construction companies to monitor project progress regularly. In addition, LiDAR point cloud color schemes are a helpful tool for the visualization of elevation, which makes 3D analysis of the ground and structures much more accessible.
