The acronym \u201cLIDAR\u201d stands for Light Detection and Ranging, and this technology works by emitting laser pulses that bounce off surfaces and return to the scanner. These pulses provide precise measurements of distances and locations of objects, which are then used to create a 3D map of the scanned area.<\/p>\n<p>The scanner sends out thousands of laser pulses per second, which are reflected back to the device by surfaces such as buildings, trees, and the ground. The scanner then measures the time it takes for the pulses to return and uses this information to create a 3D map of the scanned area. The result is a highly detailed and accurate representation of the environment, which can be used in various industries such as construction, mining, forestry, and urban planning.<\/p>\n<p>More information on different point cloud capturing techniques can be found <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pointorama.com\/news\/acquisition-methods-to-ceate-a-pointcloud\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n                                            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"b-block b-hero position-relative overflow-hidden text-dark b-hero-vector py-4 pt-xxl-9 pb-xxl-8   pt-6 pt-xl-7\">\n        <div class=\"container\">\n        <div class=\"row justify-content-center justify-content-sm-start\">\n            <div class=\"b-hero__content col-11 col-lg-8 pe-lg-6\">\n                                                    <h1 class=\"h2 mb-4\">What are the main benefits of Lidar?<\/h1>\n                                                            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"b-block b-image-text\">\n    <div class=\"container\">\n        <div class=\"row justify-content-center justify-content-md-between gx-md-6 gx-lg-0\">\n            <div class=\"col-11 col-sm-12 col-md-5 col-lg-6 \">\n                                    <figure class=\"mb-4 mb-md-0\">\n                        <img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"545\" height=\"355\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pointorama.com:443\/content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/LIDAR_02-545x355.png\" class=\"img-fluid w-100\" alt=\"LiDAR scan based on intensity\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"LiDAR scan: Foundation plan\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pointorama.com:443\/content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/LIDAR_02-545x355.png 545w, https:\/\/www.pointorama.com:443\/content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/LIDAR_02-300x195.png 300w, https:\/\/www.pointorama.com:443\/content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/LIDAR_02-1134x737.png 1134w, https:\/\/www.pointorama.com:443\/content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/LIDAR_02.png 543w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 545px) 100vw, 545px\" \/>                    <\/figure>\n                                <\/div>\n            <div class=\"col-11 col-sm-12 col-md-7 col-lg-5  text-black d-flex flex-column justify-content-center align-items-start\">\n                <div>\n                                            <svg class=\"c-icon c-icon__usps d-none mb-4\">\n                            <use href=\"https:\/\/www.pointorama.com:443\/content\/themes\/io\/build\/sprite\/sprite.svg#icon-none\"><\/use>\n                        <\/svg>\n                                                                <h3 class=\"c-subtitle text-black h6 mb-2\">Precision and Accuracy<\/h3>\n                                                                                    <div class=\"pt-lg-1\">\n                            <p>Lidar scanners offer highly accurate and precise distance measurements, which are crucial for creating accurate survey data and maps.<\/p>\n<p>This method typically achieves <strong>millimeter to centimeter-level range accuracy<\/strong>.
