Deceiving clickbait for interesting technology. This is nothing like 'photography':
> Developed in China, the lidar-based system can cut through city smog to resolve human-sized features at vast distances.
> the new technique produces images with a spatial resolution of about 60 cm, which resolves building windows
And it is not bending beyond the horizon but simply mounted on high location.
- IfOnlyYouKnew 7y ago"Photography is the art, application and practice of creating durable images by recording light or other electromagnetic radiation" L(!)idar: Laser (photons) I'm really struggling to find any alternative headline. It's almost anti-clickbait ("click-scarecrow" is the most creative I can come up with using a dictionary). Because it essentially gives away the most important details of the story. The term "clickbait" has just outlived it's usefulness when it's applied to any and every headline someone doesn't like for whatever reason. To show the difference, here are some alternative, actual-clickbait, headlines: - Naked Sunbathing? Better hope nobody in a 45-mile radius has this new invention! - This new technology could turn your iPhone into a superspy! - Soon, governments will be able to spy on you picking your nose alone in the middle of a desert - 11 reasons to stay indoors, number 11 even surprised us!
- gloflo 7y ago'Camera' and 'photograph'. Did you really not expect something more like a traditional photo?
- detaro 7y agoReads to me more like the "lidar" mention is misleading, since the goal isn't range finding.
- xaedes 7y agoThe way I read it they probe for a certain range whether there is reflection or not. So the result will be like range finding.
