Visual perception of wind hazards using cycloidal scanning LiDAR system.

Urban Air Mobility (UAM) is particularly vulnerable to wind hazards, and conventional weather monitoring tools often do not offer the detailed, real-time information needed for safe operations. This research, which examines the visual perception of the on-board cycloidal scanning LiDAR system in improving UAM safety, is of significant importance. The cycloidal scanning LiDAR system, designed explicitly for on-board integration, delivers high-resolution visual mapping, real-time data processing, and comprehensive environmental scanning with 360° rotational capabilities.
