  Laser Rangefinders for Hunters
These rangefinders instantly provide a dramatically more accurate picture than, “Well, it looks to be about 225 yards away.” Instant and deadly accurate information on your target is a valuable tool.
There are other laser rangefinders available that were primarily designed for golf or surveying, or military purposes.
But to become truly useful, any optical technique must go beyond the measurement of mere laser pulses, whose intensity and phase are well-behaved in space, time, and frequency and have fairly high intensity.

  Using GPS With ROMDAS Laser Surveyor
That is, the laser is capable of RS-232 output and the GPS is able to accept such an input from the laser.
In February, this column was an introduction to the use of laser rangefinders in conjunction with GPS.
On the other hand, if the laser is being used not for an offset, but rather to compute and output the volume of a particular tree it is likely that the user would prefer to store this wood volume computation as an attribute of the tree (not as an offset).

 Laser applications - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Laser beams are focused through large telescopes on Earth aimed toward the arrays, and the time taken for the beam to be reflected back to Earth measured to determine the distance between the Earth and Moon with high precision.
By using a chemical laser, one in which the laser operation is powered by an energetic chemical reaction, the requirement for generating and storing a large amount of electrical energy (which directly or indirectly is used to power most high-power lasers) is removed.
This non-lethal laser weapon, shown in the accompanying photo attached to an M16 rifle, was developed by the U.S. Air Force to temporarily impair an adversary’s ability to fire a weapon or to otherwise threaten enemy forces.

 Bushnell Laser Rangefinders
A laser rangefinder is a distance-measuring instrument that uses laser technology to calculate the distance to targeted objects.
Then, the rangefinder's high-speed digital clock measures the time it took for a laser beam to reach a target and return to the unit.
Because rangefinders "bounce" a laser beam off the target in order to take a measurement, their range is partially determined by the reflectivity of the target.

 Laser range-finder - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The most common form of laser range-finder operates on the time of flight principle by sending a laser pulse in a narrow beam towards the object and measuring the time taken by the pulse to be reflected off the target and returned to the sender.
The accuracy of the instrument is determined by the brevity of the laser pulse and the speed of the receiver.
One of the advantages that laser rangefinders offer over other methods of computer vision is that the computer does not need to correlate features from two images to determine depth information as in stereoscopic methods.

 Laser Rangefinders at Salt Lake Optics   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
A pulse of laser light is produced and emitted from the laser rangefinder.
The round-trip time is precisely measured as the laser reflects off a target and back into the rangefinders receiver.
Many variables contribute to ranging performance: weather, lighting, target size, target reflectivity, target surface (a flat, smooth sign is much easier to range than an animal), the angle at which the laser hits the target (the closer you hit at a 90 degree angle, the further you can range) and hand steadiness.

 Sam's Laser FAQ - Laser Instruments and Applications
While the laser's weapons potential was clear, most of the uses of lasers that have changed the World were not foreseen even by the so-called experts of the time.
If a laser beam is scanned across a 3-D object, and the spot is viewed (by optical sensors) from two different locations, it is possible to determine the instantaneous distance to the spot (on the object).
Laser Atlanta Optics is an example of a company that specializes in laser based distance and speed measureing technology.

In the world of distance measuring devices, often called rangefinders, Rob O’Loughlin is the high priest of precise yardage and the point man in a brewing rules controversy.
The rules be damned, rangefinders already are commonly used for casual play in several regions of the United States.
Rangefinders usually are seen in two forms – either GPS (global positioning satellite) systems that are mounted on motorized golf carts or hand-held laser units such as QuickSilver – and they typically can measure yardages in excess of 300 yards.
