Market Definition
LIDAR stands for light detection and ranging and thus, it is a remote sensing technology that uses light in the form of pulsed laser which in turn is used to measure the distance. Thus, the drones equipped with LIDAR technology use light in the form of a pulsed laser to provide accurate information regarding environmental location. This technology works when a laser is beamed from the sensors and the time is calculated when that laser reflects so that the accurate positioning can be detected. The distance is also calculated using the velocity of light. LIDAR technology works in similar ways to Radar and Sonar but uses a laser instead of radio and sound waves. LIDAR is a direct measurement that produces a point cloud-like image.
Global LIDAR Drones Market Dynamics
Drivers
- Cost reduction and miniaturization
The reduction in the size and cost of LiDAR sensors, along with the development of lightweight drones capable of carrying these sensors, has contributed to the increased adoption of LiDAR drone technology.
- Advancements in LiDAR technology
LiDAR sensor technology has been advancing, with improved accuracy, range, and point cloud density, enabling more precise mapping and data collection. This has significantly contributed to the adoption of LiDAR drone technology and its applications such as drones.
- Integration of drones into airspace regulations
Many countries have implemented regulations specifically for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or drones. These regulations have evolved over time to accommodate different use cases and ensure the safe and responsible operation of drones. As LIDAR drones fall under the drone category, favorable regulations have made it easier for individuals and businesses to obtain the necessary permits or licenses to operate LIDAR-equipped drones legally.
Opportunity
- The rising demand and application of LIDAR drones in agricultural precision and corridor mapping
LIDAR drones have become valuable tools for precision agriculture, which involves using technology to optimize farming practices and increase crop yield. By capturing high-resolution LIDAR data, drones can provide detailed 3D maps of farmland, including elevation, topography, and vegetation density. This data allows farmers to gain valuable insights into soil health, irrigation needs, crop health, and plant growth patterns.
Restraints/Challenges
- High cost associated with the LIDAR drone
The high cost associated with the LIDAR drone equipment will prove to be a big-time hindrance in the way of market growth. The dearth of skilled professionals and experts to maneuver the LIDAR drones will further slow down the market growth rate. Concerns related to the management of air traffic amid the rise in the level of LIDAR drones will also challenge the market growth.
Recent Development
- In June 2022, Phoenix LiDAR Systems launched airborne topo-bathymetric (ATB) system called HydroRANGER. This system provides dual purpose topographic and bathymetric measurements for full scene mapping of shoreline systems. Utilizing a visible green spectrum laser with an elliptical scan pattern and measurements rates up to 200 kHz.
