-
Laser Emission
The LIDAR scanner emits thousands to millions of laser pulses per second toward the target area or object.
-
Reflection
These pulses bounce off surfaces, such as buildings, ground, trees, or structures, and return to the sensor.
-
Time-of-Flight Measurement
The system measures the time it takes for each laser pulse to travel to the object and back. Since light travels at a constant speed, this time can be used to calculate the exact distance.
-
Position & Angle Tracking
As the scanner moves (or rotates), it records the angle and position of each pulse. When combined with GPS and IMU data (in mobile or aerial systems), the result is a complete 3D map of the scanned environment.
-
Step 5. Point Cloud Generation
All the measured points are compiled into a point cloud, a digital 3D representation of the scanned area. These can be further processed into 3D models, maps, or measurements.

What is a LIDAR 3D scanner?
LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) technology uses laser light to measure distances with high accuracy. It captures the shape, position, and dimensions of buildings, plants, and environments by sending out rapid laser pulses and calculating how long they take to return after hitting a surface.
Lecia RTC360
Cutting-edge 3D laser scanner designed for fast and precise reality capture. It offers ultra-high-speed scanning, capturing up to 2 million points per second, and combines this with advanced HDR imaging to produce detailed, colour-rich 3D models.
Lecia BLK360
A compact, lightweight, and user-friendly 3D laser scanner perfect for quick and easy reality capture. Despite its small size, it delivers impressive performance by capturing 360,000 points per second along with high-resolution panoramic images.
How does LIDAR technology work?
LIDAR technology uses laser pulses to measure distances and build accurate 3D
models of objects, terrain, or entire spaces, without requiring physical contact.
