LIDAR



LIDAR, which can stand for Light Detection and Ranging or Laser Imaging Detection and Ranging, is a type of remote sensing technology that can be used to measure the distance to or other properties of a specific area by hitting the area with laser light and measuring the feedback. This image is a LIDAR map of Blue Ridge. This is considered a LIDAR image because it was derived from a raw data LIDAR point cloud, and a LIDAR-derived canopy surface model.
