ALS (Airborne Laser Scanning)

Airborne Laser Scanning (ALS) is a technology that uses a laser mounted on an aircraft to map the Earth's surface. It emits rapid laser pulses towards the ground and measures the time it takes for each pulse to bounce back. This data creates detailed, three-dimensional maps of terrain, vegetation, and structures. ALS is valuable for applications like topographic surveys, forestry management, environmental monitoring, and urban planning. It provides high precision and coverage, capturing complex features efficiently and accurately without direct contact with the surface.
