You are welcome.
Interesting, plus impressive and immense as lidar projects go. Immense funding made this possible.
My work, satellite imagery surveys and data compilation, contributed data on known geometric earthworks, mound villages, and roads. And my data files compile work by many archaeologists.

#Jetson Orin Nano #Ubuntu is very unfriendly with no good native apps and is relatively slow running most programs. So, it is only good for doing some small LLM inferencing and #edgeAI stuff like #LiDAR which I don't care cause I will be using #esp32 for that purpose.

But the good news is, I can use Pi Apps which uses #Flatpak, allowing some of my favorite apps. like #Obsidian notes, to run on this Jetson board that runs on an ARM 64 version of Ubuntu.

I got to talk to my old friend Greg Charvat about his new company Teradar on The Amp Hour this week. I think it has a huge opportunity to positively impact the #automotive industry replacing things like #radar and #lidar. Obviously there are other interesting application spaces in #robotics and #defense as well.

A new study in Borneo shows that cutting back invasive woody vines allows logged tropical forests to regenerate much faster.

Using LiDAR data, researchers found that thinning these lianas boosts tree growth and reduces mortality, outperforming simple tree-planting efforts.

• “Built for GPS-denied warfare…

“Vantor, the American Earth-observation company…., is now rebuilding chosen stretches of the planet as three-dimensional models and delivering them within a day of imaging — a commercial first, the company says, and one aimed as much at autonomous machines as at the analysts and militaries who have always been its customers.
The service, called WorldView 3D, went live on July 1. It draws on a fleet of 10 satellites imaging Earth’s surface at 12-inch (30-centimeter) resolution, according to Space.com. The 3D views are constructed by combining multiple images taken from different orbital angles, then refreshed on a daily cadence — a speed the company says is impossible to match with aircraft or drones over remote or contested territory.
According to the company’s launch announcement… the service would enable rapid updates of remote and contested areas, calling it the future of spatial intelligence….
The product comes in two tiers…:
• Standard resolution delivers 20-inch (50 cm) imagery with 13-foot (4-meter) accuracy in all directions.
• The HD tier tightens that to 6-inch (15 cm) resolution with 10-foot (3-meter) positional accuracy in three dimensions.
Those numbers matter for a specific reason. Traditional 3D mapping — the kind used by autonomous vehicle companies and defense contractors — has historically relied on aircraft flights, drone surveys, or LiDAR passes. Those methods produce excellent detail. They also require physical access to the airspace above the target.
Vantor’s pitch is that satellites remove the access problem. A constellation in low Earth orbit passes over hostile territory as freely as it passes over Kansas…”

3D-контроль кузова: как отличить исправную фуру от бракованной без участия человека

Клиент - производитель строительных материалов. Каждый день на погрузку стройматериалов приезжают десятки фур. При этом, габариты паллет, на которых грузят материалы, фиксированы жестко, а вот реальные размеры машин — нет. Внешне кузов может выглядеть ровным прямоугольником, а внутри могут быть скрыты «сюрпризы»: заниженная к кабине крыша, выгнутые борта или самодельные крючки на дверных стойках. Глазом эту кривизну не оценить. В момент погрузки, вилочный погрузчик заносит паллету шириной 2,40 метра, а она упирается в “неучтенный” выступ внутри кузова. Цена такой ошибки — повреждённый груз, развёрнутая на КПП машина, простой ворот, сорванный график отгрузки. Решение заказчика: поставить человека на осмотр: сотрудник заглядывает в кузов и по визуальному осмотру решает, грузить фуру или разворачивать. Это медленно, субъективно, не масштабируется, а отказы по геометрии кузова составляют заметную долю разворотов. Задача, которую решала наша команда: автоматизировать осмотр кузова перед погрузкой. Убрать сотрудника из точки принятия решения и выдавать решение “грузить / не грузить” на основании математических расчетов и реальной геометрии. Планка задана высокая. Нужно замерять сразу три габарита:

Advancing Detailed Flood Hazard Identification in Alberta, Canada - Insights from Two Recent Flood Studies
--
https://doi.org/10.3390/w18131592 <-- shared paper
--
“The increasing frequency of floods and the severity of their consequences for public safety, infrastructure, and the economy demand improved methods for flood hazard identification. Flood studies that include flood hazard mapping are critical tools for informing emergency response and flood recovery, as well as for land use and mitigation planning. The methodology for such flood studies has evolved, and access to more powerful computational resources and high-resolution base data has contributed to the increased use of two-dimensional hydraulic modelling, where one-dimensional modelling previously was the default. However, local-scale flood studies face real-world constraints, including sparse data, challenging hydrologic conditions, and budget limitations, which can hinder the application of advanced techniques. This study addresses these challenges through innovative, practice-driven solutions in two case studies in Alberta, Canada: a small, partly channelised prairie stream network (Wolf Creek, Lacombe) and a laterally dynamic river on a distributary delta (Swan River, Kinuso). Three core components of flood hazard studies are described: field survey data collection, regional hydrology assessment, and hydraulic modelling. Key findings include demonstrating that LiDAR-derived terrain models alone cannot capture channel conveyance, the importance of low-flow calibration in the absence of high-water marks, the selection of a modelling methodology based on bathymetric and topographic features within a study area, and the development of inflow hydrographs for unsteady-state simulation in flat floodplains…”

"Great mysteries of archaeology: An ancient Amazonian world revealed from the sky

From the air, you see it only through the constant jolt, tilt, and shudder of the low-flying Cessna aircraft. The landscape of the Llanos de Moxos, northern Bolivia, appears as a disconnected patchwork of open grassland savannahs, forest islands, and lakes.

It feels random, almost unreadable. Only gradually does the pattern resolve itself: raised causeways or paths fanning out to link the forest islands, and a dense, scattered web of canals threading the terrain. Slowly you realize it's a structured network of intersecting lines, enclosures, and roads—the imprint of past human design.

(. . .)

Archaeological explorations in this part of the world have been completely changed by lidar in the past couple of decades. Lidar maps an area from a plane or drone by bouncing rapid laser pulses off the Earth's surface. Some of these pulses penetrate the forest canopy, reach the ground, and reflect back to the sensor."

https://phys.org/news/2026-06-great-mysteries-archaeology-ancient-amazonian.html

Had an old #Xaomi #robot #vacuum that we had for like 8 years. One of the very first models that had #lidar scanning. Those things have advanced a lot since then! Recently updated to a #Roborock #Qrevo Pro and damn all the problems I had with the old one are pretty much gone.

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🌲📏 A team called the “#Taiwan tree seekers” used airborne lasers to scan #forests from above, then 372 citizen volunteers helped sort through 57,000 candidates from home.

The winner, an 84 m Taiwania fir named “Heaven Sword,” is taller than a 20-story #building, and over 1,000 years old. It was measured by climbers who hiked two days into Taiwan’s misty #mountains during #LunarNewYear 2023.
