About This Webinar
Laser scanning technology has been around for several decades but with little innovative technology advancement. A new scanning technology platform based on a state-of-the-art MEMS projection engine, fiber-coupled laser and supporting software introduces several key innovative technical advantages over conventional laser scanning platform and supports smarter 3-D scanning solutions. This presentation will provide basic introduction and overview of this new scanning technology platform.

Lidar has become an increasingly useful tool in mapping and surveying applications over the past decade. Many perceived limitations of lidar have recently been overcome with a combination of hardware and software technologies originally developed for space applications and recently further evolved for terrestrial applications. Specifically, advances in measurement range, durability and obscurant penetration have been applied to a new lidar product for harsh environments where visibility is often obscured by dust, fog or rain.
