LIDAR Mapping

LIDAR mapping, or Light Detection and Ranging, is a remote sensing technology used in surveying and mapping that utilizes laser light to measure distances. A LIDAR instrument sends out thousands of laser pulses, which bounce off the ground and return to the sensor. By analyzing these pulses, it creates detailed 3D images of the landscape, capturing features such as terrain, vegetation, and structures. This method is highly accurate and efficient, making it valuable for applications like topographic mapping, forestry, and infrastructure planning, helping professionals understand and manage the natural and built environment effectively.
