WEBJun 7, 2024 · LidarExplorer is an online application that allows users to search and visualize Light Detection and Ranging (lidar) and its derived products. Users can find lidar, Digital Elevation Model (DEM), topobathymetric, and orthorectified radar image (ORI).
Lidar - Wikipedia
WEBLidar (/ ˈlaɪdɑːr /, also LIDAR, LiDAR or LADAR, an acronym of "light detection and ranging" [1] or "laser imaging, detection, and ranging" [2]) is a method for determining ranges by targeting an object or a surface with a laser and measuring the time for the reflected light to return to the receiver.
What is Lidar data and where can I download it?
WEBLight Detection and Ranging (lidar) is a technology used to create high-resolution models of ground elevation with a vertical accuracy of 10 centimeters (4 inches). Lidar equipment, which includes a laser scanner, a Global Positioning System (GPS), and an Inertial Navigation System (INS), is typically mounted on a small aircraft.
A Complete Guide to LiDAR: Light Detection and Ranging
WEBIt’s similar to sonar (sound waves) or radar (radio waves) because it sends a pulse and measures the time it takes to return. But LiDAR is different than sonar and radar because it uses light. We’ve summarized light detection and ranging with this LiDAR guide.
WEBLidar was first developed as a fixed-position ground-based instrument for studies of atmospheric composition, structure, clouds, and aerosols and remains a powerful tool for climate observations around the world.
