WEB-BASED LIDAR – MORE THAN A
TECHNOLOGY
Barring a few niche areas, LiDAR has not been widely adopted. However, that’s going to change
soon as more and more companies are inkling towards Web-based AI service for analyzing LiDAR
data for their benefit, people, and society.
LiDAR is an acronym for a remote sensing system known as light detection and ranging. LiDAR is
a high-end remote sensing technology that uses light in the form of a pulsed laser to measure
distances (ranges) to and from a point. A LiDAR sensor flashes beams of laser light and then
measures how long it takes for the light to return to the sensor.
Barring a few niche areas, LiDAR has not been widely adopted. However, that’s going to change
soon as more and more companies are inkling towards Web-based AI service for analyzing LiDAR
data for their benefit, people, and society.
LiDAR technology has been around for some decades. However, only now that with the costs
associated with building and using LiDAR systems coming down, the technology is being tapped
for more and more applications. The latest generation of iPhones and iPads have LiDAR sensors
embedded in them for use with AR uses.
With Web-based AI, LiDAR service providers can reach out to a broader audience through the Web.
Anyone with a Web browser can now upload their LiDAR data into an AI system and receive the
output quickly, thanks to automation.
With Web-based AI, users can take a raw point cloud and do segmentation or classification to
what the points represent – trees, cars, or buildings. This is possible when service providers use 3-
D models instead of traditional 2-D models. With 3-D models, feature extraction can be done with
high accuracy and detail thanks to automation. With the GPU and CPU resources, one can
maximize the benefits by running the cloud system.
The Web-based LiDAR system can be so efficient that it can revolutionize how the data is
analyzed, empowering the clients without the need to have LiDAR experts.

2. Earlier, clients would in-person inspect a few thousand miles of telecom or power infrastructure
lines to make sure that there were no interruptions due to natural hurdles like landslides or trees
falling on the wires or a mid-way snap.
With LiDAR, images can be captured before and after installations and then use AI, followed by the
automation, can interpret the images and ensure both the cost and the time calculations.
Why Techwave:
At Techwave, we strive to be a world-class lighting technology provider. With that role comes the
responsibility to be intimately familiar with newer applications and help our partners understand
the real value in them.

Nature is unpredictable, and when furious, can threaten humanity depending on their habitats.
LiDAR can be extensively used with emerging technologies like AI and other technology-based
processing methods to reduce the risks of natural calamities. Techwave is committed to applying
technology to address real-world problems
