lidar-derived products

Lidar-derived products are detailed maps and measurements created from laser scanning technology that uses laser pulses to capture precise 3D information about land, buildings, and vegetation. These products include digital elevation models (DEMs), which show the terrain's shape, and can also map structures and plant canopies. By analyzing the data, experts can assess features like topography, forest density, and urban infrastructure. Lidar provides high-resolution, accurate spatial information that supports applications such as environmental monitoring, city planning, and hazard assessment.
