UAV-borne LiDAR revolutionizing groundwater level mapping
In hydrogeological research, the systematic and periodic measurement of the piezometric level is fundamental to assess aquifer storage, identify recharge and discharge areas, define flow directions and to infer the balance between inputs and withdrawals.

The Obstacle Detection Method of UAV Based on 2D Lidar [PDF]
With the widespread use of UAVs in daily life, there are many sensors and algorithms used to ensure flight safety. Among these sensors, lidar has been gradually applied to UAVs due to its stability and portability. However, in the actual application, lidar changes its position with the movement of the UAV, resulting in an offset in the detected point ...

Improving sub-canopy snow depth mapping with unmanned aerial vehicles: lidar versus structure-from-motion techniques [PDF]
Vegetation has a tremendous influence on snow processes and snowpack dynamics, yet remote sensing techniques to resolve the spatial variability of sub-canopy snow depth are not always available and are difficult from space-based platforms.
