Airborne light detection and ranging (LiDAR) refers to the remote sensing technique that is designed to obtain three-dimensional (3D) data about the surface of the earth and the target object. It comprises laser scanners, inertial navigation systems, cameras, global positioning systems (GPS) and global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receivers, and micro-electromechanical systems. It is available as airborne topographic LiDAR and airborne bathymetric LiDAR. It offers greater efficiency, provides image acquisition, and assists in gathering accurate spatial data. It allows scientists and mapping professionals to easily examine natural and manmade environments while providing accuracy, precision, and flexibility. It also aids in mapping wide areas in a short time with precise measurement. Besides this, it is not affected by any geometrical distortions, such as angular landscape, as compared to other kinds of data collection methods. It is widely utilized for corridor mapping, seismology, and exploration and detection. As a result, airborne LiDAR is employed in the aerospace, defense, agriculture, mining, and transportation industries across the globe.

Airborne LiDAR Market Trends:

At present, the rising demand for airborne LiDAR in the defense industry to reduce the deaths in the war field, increase the accuracy of operations, and protect perimeters represents one of the key factors supporting the growth of the market. Besides this, the growing utilization of airborne LiDAR in the agriculture industry for the analysis of yield rates, crop scouting, and seed dispersions is offering a positive market outlook. Additionally, there is a rise in the need to know about the exact depth of the ocean surface to locate any object in the case of a maritime accident and for research purposes. This, coupled with the increasing utilization of airborne LiDAR for calculating phytoplankton fluorescence and biomass on the ocean surface, is propelling the growth of the market. Apart from this, the rising demand for airborne LiDAR in forest management and planning around the world is offering lucrative growth opportunities to industry investors. Moreover, the increasing demand for 3D imaging in spatial surveys and corridor mapping is positively influencing the market. In addition, the growing utilization of airborne LiDAR in road and highway construction activities is contributing to the growth of the market. Furthermore, the rising adoption of airborne LiDAR in spacecraft and fighter jets for advanced security and 3D mapping is strengthening the market growth.
