*Can Lidar see through swimsuits? When I was a kid I bought Xray vision glasses off the back of a cereal box and it was just a bunch of feathers glued to inside of sunglasses.*
Very cool. After collecting the static did reversing the boat before going forward to do the calibrations corrupt the data? I know if you fly the UAS backwards that can corrupt a whole mission.
Hey Harrison... nice job with you and your crew. I have a "dumb" question... why use a boat? Wouldn't your M300 or M350 shoot that entire lake and shoreline in 2 or 3 drone passes? What is the advantage of shooting LiDAR on a boat vs. using your drone? Just curious...
Looks like 1 of many multiband antennas available for use with a receiver such as a Emlid M2. Not sure why they just didn't use the Emlid RS2 rover with the base? Curious.... reason for this?
Some type of lidars can "see" through water (aerial bathymetry) but that is a totally other level of price. Here usual answer is to add multibeam echosounder on the side of the boat.
Careful.. the IMU for accurate collection need heave compensation. So you'll sell them a point cloud generating machine and won't product absolute accuracies they would expect in a MMS unit. You should know this??
