lidar

LiDAR range gates limit how far a sensor can measure before pulses overlap, creating ambiguities at high pulse rates and shaping how modern systems handle long‑distance returns.

LiDAR surveys rely on four simple parameters, yet each one shapes how efficiently you capture the world. Together they determine what your data will actually be useful for.

LiDAR has grown rapidly, and I’ve seen how powerful it becomes once you understand how it works and where its limitations lie. In this article I break down those fundamentals.
