MeteoSwiss watches the skies in 3D

MeteoSwiss, the Switzerland's National Weather service, is using a new system to build 3D maps of Swiss skies. This LIDAR Light Detection and Ranging weather measurement system has been developed at the Lausanne-based Federal Institute of Technology EPFL. According to EPFL, this new system will be able to provide real-time...

New laser fights tailgating in AZ

Arizona has launched a new technological weapon in the battle against bad driving with a laser device that measures the distance between cars. The device makes tailgating tickets virtually argument-proof, The Arizona Republic reports. "Tailgating accounts for most of the collisions in the Valley," said DPS...

An Object-Oriented Software Development Approach to Design Simulator for Airborne Altimetric Lidar

Topographic data are fundamental for several applications. The latest technique for topographic data collection is Airborne Altimetric LiDAR. However, LiDAR data is not available for research and education as required. This paper describes the object oriented design methods used to develop a software system to simulate the functioning of an...

Object Oriented Software Engineering for Designing an Aerial Survey Lidar Simulator

This paper describes the object oriented design methods used to develop a software system to simulate the functioning of an aerial survey LiDAR instrument. Object-oriented design is a design strategy where system designers think in terms of 'Things' instead of operations or functions. The goal of this paper is to...

Lasers for video surveillance

Researchers at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory ORNL have built a new optical surveillance based on lasers. Their Laser-Based Item Monitoring System LBIMS is designed to protect high-value items in high security environments. It's also supposed to respect your privacy and be the equivalent of cameras with a 10,000-megapixel resolution....
