How can Lidar and inertial navigation systems be used for surveying. Interview with Frank Bertini, UAV and Robotics Business Manager at Velodyne
How can Lidar and inertial navigation systems be used for surveying? Lidar data, by itself, has no reference to the real world. In order to make use of the Point Cloud, it is necessary to geo-reference the 3D lidar data using GPS and some type of inertial measurement sensor. The Inertial Navigation Systems (INS) that […] Read More
