Lidar Map


Lidar is a type of remote sensing map, which involves the detection and measurement of radiation of different wavelengths reflected or emitted from distant objects or surfaces. Lidar stands for light detection and ranging and uses a lasar, the light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation, instead of using radio or microwave radiation. The above image is a lidar image of vegetation in Blue Ride, Washington and it distinguished by the fact that it uses lasars, light amplification by stimulated emulsions of radiation instead of radar or sonar to produce its results.
