GIS applications using LiDAR
Module 2 for GIS Applications returns us to take a more in depth look at the use of LiDAR, a topic briefly covered in previous courses. LiDAR (LIght Detection And Ranging) uses lasers, usually in the visible or near-infrared portion of the spectrum, calculates heights by measuring distances between a scanner and target area. The high energy pulses record the reflected response of different objects in a very narrow [...]
