Intro to World Geography
Lidar, which stands for Light Detection and Ranging, is a remote sensing technology that uses laser light to measure distances and create detailed three-dimensional maps of the Earth's surface. It works by sending out pulses of laser light and measuring the time it takes for the light to bounce back after hitting an object, enabling the generation of precise elevation models, vegetation analysis, and other geographic data.
congrats on reading the definition of lidar. now let's actually learn it.
