Lidar (Light Detection and Ranging) technology is a remote sensing method that uses light in the form of a pulsed laser to measure distance to an object or surface. Lidar technology is commonly used for creating high-resolution maps, detecting topography, measuring atmospheric conditions, and monitoring environmental changes. The technology works by sending out a laser pulse and measuring the time it takes for the pulse to bounce back, allowing for accurate and precise measurements of distances and shapes. Lidar technology has applications in various industries, including agriculture, urban planning, forestry, and archaeology.
