How AI-powered LiDAR technology is rapidly gaining momentum, playing a transformative role in enhancing life within smart cities

LiDAR, which stands for Light Detection and Ranging or Laser Imaging Detection and Ranging, is a remote sensing technology that measures distances by emitting laser pulses and calculating the time it takes for them to reflect off a surface and return to the sensor. Compared to other measurement systems, LiDAR technology excels at generating highly precise three-dimensional maps, making it invaluable for urban planning.
