Security Technology, February 2026

While scientists are using LiDAR to map shorelines and security practitioners are using it to monitor their perimeters, historians have their own unique applications.

These cultural properties appreciators are increasingly using laser scanning technology to build highly accurate models of historic sites. These models can be used to learn more about the structure and its construction, as well as serve as a blueprint should the site become damaged and need to be restored.
