Ground-based Lidar

Ground-based lidar (Light Detection and Ranging) is a remote sensing technology that uses laser pulses emitted from a stationary ground device to measure distances to objects and surfaces. As the laser beam hits an object and reflects back, sensors record the time it takes for the light to return, allowing precise mapping of the environment’s shape and features. This technique creates detailed, three-dimensional images of terrain, vegetation, buildings, and infrastructure. Ground-based lidar is widely used in surveying, forestry, archaeology, and infrastructure monitoring for accurate, high-resolution spatial data.
