  • If you've got good eyesight, you can probably see a person's general figure from around 300 meters (1000 feet). If you're really keen, you may even tell some basic features of the face. But if you were using this LiDAR sensor,

The article from MSN discusses a breakthrough in LiDAR technology developed by researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the University of Maryland. This new technology, known as superconducting nanowire single-photon detector (SNSPD) LiDAR, can scan a human face from up to 325 meters away with high resolution. Unlike traditional LiDAR systems that use laser pulses, this system employs superconducting nanowires which can detect single photons, allowing for much greater sensitivity and range. This advancement could significantly enhance applications in security, autonomous vehicles, and environmental monitoring by providing detailed 3D images at distances far greater than current capabilities. The technology's ability to work in low light conditions and its potential for integration into various systems make it a promising development in the field of remote sensing.
