Good morning,
I’m looking for a laser lidar to measure the grass height.
This is a farm project, I need a sensor on a drone to measure the grass height.
I would like to know if you rekon that laser lidar would be the best solution ?
If yes which one do you advise me ?
I need one that could get ground level AND the top of the grass.
Else, if you rekon it won’t work, one for the ground level and i will use an ultrasonic sensor for the top of the grass.
Thank you very much for your help.
Hi,
Considering the size of grass, it probably will not work. Most of the LIDARs we offer are meant to detect objects and obstacles (walls, floors ceilings, etc.) that are quite large compared to the sensor beam. With a quick online search, you can find various researchers trying to do this using cameras, which may be more reliable for this kind of measurement. You’d most likely want to have a way to level your drone and know it’s altitude to correlate pictures taken horizontally to grass height. Good luck!
Sincerely,
