Raja Manish's work focuses on combining LiDAR (laser-based 3D scanning), imaging, and GPS/GNSS technologies to build mapping and monitoring systems for roads, farm fields, forests, and infrastructure. Applications include tracking road surface conditions, measuring salt stockpiles for winter road maintenance, mapping agricultural fields with drones and ground robots, and testing autonomous vehicle sensor systems. This research supports transportation agencies, agriculture, and robotics by improving how 3D spatial data is collected and processed in challenging outdoor conditions.
