They collect data at a given resolution, which is also the processing resolution. By contrast, a Geiger-mode system is an array that illuminates a large area on the ground, capturing the elevation of each point, and the processing later determines the output resolution.<\/p>\n<p>According to Mark Romano, geospatial product manager for Harris Corporation, Geiger-mode lidar is \u201ca completely different technology type\u201d from linear lidar. He says it enables much higher and faster collection flights and much higher resolutions than typical current linear systems.<\/p>\n<p>Harris\u2019 system has an array of 32 x 128 pixels (for a total of about 4,100 pixels) and flashes 50,000 times per second. \u201cSo, we are really over-sampling the area,\u201d\u00a0says Romano. The output resolution could then be, for example, 2, 8, 20, or 100 points per square meter (ppsm).<\/p>\n<p>Harris has been selling Geiger-mode lidar to the military for about 16 years, gaining experience in designing and fielding sensors and supporting them in theater environments.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"A Lidar That Oversamples\" href=\"https:\/\/www.xyht.com\/lidarimaging\/a-lidar-that-oversamples-geiger-lidar-imaging\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Read more&#8230;<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Typical linear lidar systems repeatedly fire a single beam, each time measuring a single location on the ground.
