New lidar technology can create precise 3D images up to a kilometer away, even through fog.

Scientists have developed a new lidar system that can generate high-resolution 3D images up to a kilometer away, even through fog or smoke. The system, created by researchers from Heriot-Watt University with partners like NASA and MIT, uses single-photon detection, making it eye-safe and ten times more precise than similar technologies. This advancement could significantly improve facial and activity recognition at long distances.
