The skeletal remains of dinosaurs capture the imaginations of young and old alike. We gaze on these creatures, so different and yet so similar to the animals we are used to, and imagine what they would have looked like in the flesh. Artists have created sketch renderings, animators have brought to life their concepts – and now scientists have applied laser imaging and computer modeling to reveal the probable weight ranges of these mysterious beasts. The scientists created their best estimated reconstructions of a T. rex (top) and Struthiomimus sedens (bottom). Researchers at the...Read full article

    lidar
    Lidar, short for light detection and ranging, is a remote sensing technology that uses laser light to measure distances and generate precise, three-dimensional information about the shape and characteristics of objects and surfaces. Lidar systems typically consist of a laser scanner, a GPS receiver, and an inertial measurement unit (IMU), all integrated into a single system. Here is how lidar works: Laser emission: A laser emits laser pulses, often in the form of rapid and repetitive laser...
