LiDAR Scanning

LiDAR Scanning is a method that uses laser light to measure distances and create detailed 3D maps of spaces. In spatial analysis, designers use LiDAR data to quickly capture the shape and size of buildings, landscapes, and interiors, which helps in planning and understanding how spaces connect. This technology can reveal small changes in surface height, which is useful for finding hidden features or understanding how people move through an area. Designers can use the data to test ideas for new layouts or to see how sunlight and shadows move in real time. LiDAR Scanning helps make digital models that match the real world very closely, making it easier to spot problems or find new design opportunities before building anything.
