Yes, LiDAR can be used to scan in the dark because it doesn’t rely on visible light like traditional camera. LiDAR systems emit their own laser pulses, which are then reflected off objects and returned to the sensor. The system measures the time it takes for the pulses to return, allowing it to create a detailed 3D map of the environment, regardless of the ambient light conditions. This feature makes LiDAR particularly useful for applications such as autonomous driving vehicles, surveillance, and navigation in low-light or nighttime conditions. Also, LiDAR is increasingly being used in the consumer market, with Apple’s iPhone being a good example. Integrating LiDAR technology into the iPhone’s camera means, among other things, faster, more accurate autofocusing, particularly in low-light conditions. This information helps to deliver sharp, focused images, even in difficult lighting situations.
