LIDAR for Security Market Segment Analysis – By Type

Airborne segment held major market share 30.6% in 2020 owing to increasing adoption of aerial mapping devices across the globe. The topographic LiDAR devices have high demand due to their security applications. This type of LiDARs are used in various applications such as location mapping, emergency management, and disaster planning to increase security. This type LiDAR is widely used for high resolution topographic data acquisition with high accuracy in applications such as forest, geospatial and others. There has been growing demand for airborne LiDAR technology as it is used in large scale investigations of micro-topography, thereby driving the market. Some of the benefits of using LiDAR technology are the ability to capture large amounts of area in a relatively small amount of time and low requirement of manual labor. LiDAR mapping system uses the most convenient technique to cover or scan the area which is called as drone lidar survey. LiDAR systems collect information by sending thousands of pulses of light per second and by calculating the time it takes for the pulse to reach the LiDAR sensor. This results in the accurate analysis and 3D description of geometric structures.
