  2. Geological structure measurement by LiDAR - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geological_structure...

    The laser scanner is the main component of LiDAR. Lasers with a wavelength of 550-600 nm are used on a ground-based system (handheld laser scanning and terrestrial laser scanning), whereas airborne systems use lasers with 1000-1600 nm wavelength. [19] Laser calculates the reachable range by the following formula: [19]

  3. Lidar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lidar

    Lidar (/ ˈ l aɪ d ɑːr /, also LIDAR, an acronym of "light detection and ranging" [1] or "laser imaging, detection, and ranging" [2]) is a method for determining ranges by targeting an object or a surface with a laser and measuring the time for the reflected light to return to the receiver.

  4. Ground-penetrating radar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground-penetrating_radar

    EU Detect Force Technology, an advanced soil research company, design utilizes X6 Plus Grounding Radar (XGR) as an hybrid GPR application for military mine detection and also police bomb detection. The "Mineseeker Project" seeks to design a system to determine whether landmines are present in areas using ultra wideband synthetic aperture radar ...

  5. Heysen Tunnels - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heysen_Tunnels

    Each tunnel carries three lanes of traffic. As at 2015, 45,700 vehicles passed through them daily. [1] The maximum height of vehicles permitted in the tunnels is 5.3 metres (17 ft), the same as the Crafers and Mt Osmond interchanges. Laser height detectors monitor traffic to provide warnings to drivers before they attempt to enter the tunnel. [2]

  6. Tunnel network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tunnel_network

    In transport, tunnels can be connected together to form a tunnel network.These can be used in mining to reach ore below ground, in cities for underground rapid transit systems, in sewer systems, in warfare to avoid enemy detection or attacks, as maintenance access routes beneath sites with high ground-traffic such as airports and amusement parks, or to extend public living areas or commercial ...

  7. Mount Rushmore - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Rushmore

    In 1998, electronic monitoring devices were installed to track movement in the topology of the sculpture to an accuracy of three millimeters. The site was digitally recorded in 2009 using a terrestrial laser scanning method as part of the international Scottish Ten project, providing a high-resolution record to aid the conservation of the site ...

  8. Laser scanning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_scanning

    Laser scanning is the controlled deflection of laser beams, visible or invisible. [1] Scanned laser beams are used in some 3-D printers, in rapid prototyping, in machines for material processing, in laser engraving machines, in ophthalmological laser systems for the treatment of presbyopia, in confocal microscopy, in laser printers, in laser shows, in Laser TV, and in barcode scanners.
