A very simple comparison between a recent drone-based LiDAR mission (red) and the CanElevation Series High and Medium Resolution Digital Elevation Models (HRDEM and MRDEM shown in black and blue, respectively).
If you've been wondering how SLAM technology helps with capturing accurate 3D maps, hear from Emesent Product Manager Ryan Palfrey as he explains how Hovermap works. Ryan is carrying the latest Hovermap Backpack which supports RTK for when GPS signal is available.

🌨️ InnovizTwo LiDAR Meets the Challenges of Nordic Weather? 🌨️
Innoviz Technologies has showcased its new InnovizTwo LiDAR technology handling mud-covered windows without compromising performance. The demonstration is impressive, but it got me thinking—how would this tech perform under the harsh and diverse Nordic weather conditions?
Here in the Nordics, we deal with:
❄️ Snow and ice accumulation that can obscure sensors.
🌨️ Freezing rain and sleet, creating layers of ice on surfaces.
🌌 Dark winters with limited daylight—perfect for testing low-light performance.
☃️ Salt and slush splatter on vehicles during road-clearing operations.
A sensor system that handles mud is a great start, but for Level 4 autonomy to thrive here, LiDAR and other sensors must also adapt to these extreme conditions without degradation in safety or reliability.
💡 Why does this matter?
The Nordics are a natural proving ground for AV technology. If it works here, it can handle almost anywhere. Reliable sensor performance under these conditions isn’t just a "nice-to-have"—it’s mandatory for safety-critical systems in autonomous vehicles.
BTW: This technology could also solve many of the challenges in maritime detection systems—where saltwater spray and fog often obstruct sensors. The only question is: what’s the effective range?
While the InnovizTwo demonstration is impressive, the next test should be in a Nordic winter storm! 🌨️
💬 What do you think—could this technology survive the slush and ice of Nordic roads? Have other companies demonstrated similar breakthroughs for cold weather?
Today we showed case several important advances with our InnovizTwo LiDAR technology.
In the video below you will see a new configuration of InnovizTwo operating at 12Mpixel/Sec with MUD on its window.
Normally you will expect the lidar to be severely degraded by this blockage. You would expect severe gaps and holes in the field of view or very meaningful range degradation but as you can see from the video, you can’t see any degradation on InnovizTwo LiDAR performance.
This is a very important capability which is need for safety and good user experience in L3 systems. This becomes mandatory when it comes to L4 systems which cannot ask any driver to regain control in 10 seconds.
Our customers call it "black magic", amazing, right?

At the National Eviction Team, we routinely use LIDAR to map the extent of the tunnel for evidential purposes. Previously it was mapped manually, but since the LIDAR technology became available, we have been using that to great effect. To find out more and watch our videos on LIDAR click the link below.
