kaini Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 (edited) what this basically is, is a satellite (or perhaps an airplane? i dunno) which scans an area with a laser to get very, very accurate elevation readings. the netherlands, LIDAR imaged but wait. here's where it gets really fucking cool. it blows my mind that a satellite can produce this stuff by bouncing a laser off buildings and terrain and crap. interactive viewer. unfortunately the juicy hi-res stuff is behind a paywall. wiki article. technical data: Quote Height precision: 5 cm systematic and 5 cm standard deviation stochasticPlanimetric precision: objects 2 × 2 m must be mapped within 50 cm Vegetation, objects, buildings etc. filtered out to obtain real terrain height Resulting point density: 8-20 pt/m2 Edited July 11, 2012 by kaini Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide kaini's signature Hide all signatures On 5/7/2013 at 11:06 PM, ambermonk said: I know IDM can be extreme On 6/3/2017 at 11:50 PM, ladalaika said: this sounds like an airplane landing on a minefield Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/74697-lidar/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Mughnus Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 This is pretty damn cool. I can see that sometime in the future this technology would be utilized for GPS style devices, where you could see your surroundings for however many square miles in 3D like that, eventually maybe even updated in real time?

Really good overview and even a few declassified tidbits that were new to me. Since I'm obsessed with anything related to Area 51 that's saying a lot. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JByUxV1X_pg It was the primary U-2 (base and runway was built for that specifically), the A-12 (the prototype/first incarnation of the SR-71) and F-117 test base. The stealth copters in the Bin Laden raid and the drone that crashed in Iran recently are more recent examples of aircraft likely tested there. Since the late 60s until today, god knows what else - hypersonic planes, drones, scrapped prototypes, and of course all the captured UFO theories. The US also tested (and likely continues to test) captured Soviet/CIS planes there as well, along with it's sister base at Tonopah.

He's coming back from Chile soon, I'll ask him if he can reveal any secrets regarding Area 51. I believe it. And Area 51, i.e. the Groom Lake airbase, is just one of a slew of facilities in the Nellis test range, which is one of many large restricted military/government facilities. My friend's dad worked out of there for a contract, normally working at Holloman AFB/White Sands missile range. I messed with him mentally and he dipped into alcoholism for a couple of years. He's recovered from that is basically back to normal, real nice guy, but he's still carrying a lot of secrets, even as a compartmentalized engineer. My brother-in-law was on a plane that landed at Tonopah test base for an unscheduled fueling. Even though he and all crew and passengers were USAF or government employees they were surrounded with multiple security vehicles and armed guards, and had to sit in the plane the entire time. He just shook his head and said "something's going on there for sure."

You can do it fast with a moving car (accuracy ~0.1m), but they stop each 100m and it gives them a 0.01m accuracy. It's very impressive and also makes every other racing game obsolete and inaccurate. Once you run 100% true tracks, you can't go to fake ones anymore, especially since most company still use Google Maps, TV broadcasts and photos to create their tracks LOL Edited July 12, 2012 by Philip Glass Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide Bob Dylan's signature Hide all signatures *** This announcement is brought to you by the Shimago-Dominguez Corporation *** helping America into the New World...
