What is LIDAR
LIDAR (Light Detection And Ranging) is an optical
remote sensing technology that can measure the
distance to, or other properties of a target by
illuminating the target with light, often using
pulses from a laser. LIDAR technology has
application in many geographic sciences as well
as in airborne laser swath mapping (ALSM), laser
altimetry and LIDAR Contour Mapping.
