LIDAR


The next map that I have is called a LIDAR map. LIDAR or Light Detection and Ranging, is a type of map that uses an optical remote sensing technology which measures the properties of scattered light. The LIDAR uses this scattered light in order to detect the range as well as other information about a distant target. The pic that I have chosen to display is showing a LIDAR at work with it's laser light.
