Radar was initially discovered and developed for use by the military to advance military activities around the world. today, the military continues to rely on radar for many uses and have managed to achieve great success in that front. Of all applications of radar, the military carries the bulk of all its uses as outlined…
Radar technology was initially designed to meet the requirements and needs of the military. Since then, there has been continuous improvement on the radar technology to assist in the military operations on land, in the air and at sea. We take a look at some of the types of radars that the military uses to…
The Doppler Effect also called the Doppler shift; it is change in the wavelength or in the frequency of a wave for a viewer who is walking relative to the source of the wave. The Doppler Effect got its name in 1842 after Christian Doppler a physicist from Australia who explained the phenomenon. An example…
LiDAR technology is easily one of the most sought after remote sensing technologies in the world today. It is applicable in a variety of industries across the globe with the bulk of its application being in agriculture and forestry. With the dawn of this new remote sensing technology, there is need for more and more…
LiDAR stands for Light Detection and Ranging. It is the technology used to measure various attributes of an object or a phenomenon. It employs the use of pulses to collect the specific attributes of an object including its distance on the earth’s surface and the shapes. LiDAR data requires some special software to read and…
LiDAR is an acronym for Light Detection and Ranging. It is an active remote sensing technology that measures distance by illuminating a target with a laser and analyzing the reflected light. It is similar to RADAR but instead of using radio signals, it uses laser pulses. LiDAR depends on Infrared, ultraviolet and visible rays to…
LiDAR stands for Light Detection and Ranging. It is a remote sensing technology that uses laser lights to strike features and then record the pulses generated to create 3D models of the objects. LiDAR data is currently being utilized in a variety of fields including but not limited to agriculture, automobile and so on. The…
LiDAR, Radar and Sonar are the modern remote sensing techniques used by various professionals to collect and analyze data. They use different mediums to transmit various types of signals to and from the objects and then analyze the time taken to measure the distance between the transmitter and the objects. Below are some of the…
LiDAR technology has penetrated most of the industries with the major ones being construction and automotive. Because of its precise data collection and accuracy, it is one of the most preferred remote sensing technologies in the world today. While LiDAR comes with a lot of advantages, there are some limitations of LiDAR that make it…
LiDAR and Radar are the latest remote sensing technologies that have replaced the traditional data collection methods such as photogrammetry and surveying. They are relatively easy to use and offer faster and more accurate services as compared to the traditional methods. But of the two methods, LiDAR has some advantages over Radar owing to the…
