LiDAR, which stands for Light Detection and Ranging, is a remote sensing technology that uses laser pulses to measure the distance between the sensor and objects on the Earth's surface. LiDAR data is collected by scanning the laser pulses over an area to create detailed three-dimensional maps of the environment. This data is widely used in various applications such as terrain mapping, forest inventory, urban planning, flood risk assessment, archaeological surveys, and more. LiDAR data is typically collected from airborne or ground-based platforms and can provide high-resolution and accurate information about the shape, structure, and elevation of the Earth's surface.
