This is the project of the American start-up Nuview which recently announced that it wanted to use satellites equipped with LiDAR technology to model the surface of the Earth in 3D. The data collected will allow farmers to optimize yields and water consumption for their crops. On the urban side, the project should make it possible to create more efficient and sustainable environments. Today only 5% of the Earth's surface is modeled using LiDAR… Source: [https://www.techno-science.net/actualite/constellation-satellites-laser-reproduire-integralite-surface-terrestre-3d-N23161.html](https://www.techno-science.net/actualite/constellation-satellites-laser-reproduire-integralite-surface-terrestre-3d-N23161.html) Share This: [mailto:replaceme@please.com?&subject=Thought%20you%20might%20like%20this&body=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thecrossproduct.com%2Fen%2Fblog-did-you-know-lidar%2Fle-saviez-vous-lidar-et-terre](mailto:replaceme@please.com?&subject=Thought%20you%20might%20like%20this&body=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thecrossproduct.com%2Fen%2Fblog-did-you-know-lidar%2Fle-saviez-vous-lidar-et-terre) ### Featured Articles ### Categories - [didyouknow (59)](https://www.thecrossproduct.com/en/blog-did-you-know-lidar/tag/didyouknow) - [discovery (1)](https://www.thecrossproduct.com/en/blog-did-you-know-lidar/tag/discovery) - - - - - [mailto:contact@thecrossproduct.com](mailto:contact@thecrossproduct.com) 35 rue Saint Honoré, 77300 Fontainebleau FRANCE © 2026 [TheCrossProduct](https://www.thecrossproduct.com/deleted?hsLang=en) - contact@thecrossproduct.com | +33 7 85 85 35 46 - [Privacy Policy](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1rtuaslcya-mciH9CQ0k8PrqeWcgYsq_g/view?usp=share_link) - [Terms and Conditions](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1rtuaslcya-mciH9CQ0k8PrqeWcgYsq_g/view?usp=share_link) - [Legal information](https://www.thecrossproduct.com/mentions-légales) ```json { "@context" : "https://schema.org", "@type" : "BlogPosting", "author" : { "@type" : "Person", "name" : "Déborah", "url" : "https://www.thecrossproduct.com/en/blog-did-you-know-lidar/author/déborah" }, "dateModified" : "2023-05-12T07:00:00.638Z", "datePublished" : "2023-05-12T07:00:00.000Z", "headline" : "Did you know?
