Light Detecting and Ranging
LiDAR is used for different kinds of measurements in an array of sectors and industries. The automotive and aerospace industry are the main users of this versatil laser technology. LiDAR is also successfully used for improving weather forecasts in meteorology, for quality control of fields in agriculture and also for supporting renewable-energy technologies.
