The current business scenario in U.S. has witnessed an upsurge in the adoption of airborne LiDAR owing to low cost, drone-based imaging. Further, innovations in the laser technology help to bring price corrections in different airborne LiDAR products. Various government agencies and commercial users are on a constant lookout for ways to replace traditional aerial photography methods with drones, due to high-resolution images at a low cost.

Portland, OR -- (SBWire) -- 11/02/2017 --U.S. Airborne LiDAR Market is expected to garner $135 million by 2022, registering a CAGR of 12.1% from 2016-2022. Airborne LiDAR is primarily an aircraft mounted laser system that is designed to measure the 3-D coordinates of the earth surface. It is an effective technology to acquire surface data with high accuracy. LiDAR systems provide rapid 3D data collection of long linear objects such as roads, railway tracks, waterways, coastal zone, and power lines among others.

By components, the market is segmented into lasers, inertial navigation systems, cameras, GPS/GNSS receivers, and micro-electromechanical systems. Among these, lasers generated the maximum revenue in the year 2014. However, GPS/GNSS receiver is expected to witness the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The ability to operate in difficult environments highlights the need of these components in efficient LiDAR devices.
