LIDAR




LIDAR stands for light detection and ranging. This technology is used for remote sensing and measures distances via light and illuminating technology. More often than not this technology is used by the U.S. military. This technology is also used for doing research on the atmosphere and meteorology. This technology uses lazars recreate all different objects in the world onto a map including buildings, rock formations, and oceans. This particular image exemplifies a LIDAR image with all of the buildings that have carefully been sculpted by the lazar technology and recreated on paper.
