LiDAR

LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) is an optical remote sensing technology which measures properties of scattered light to find range and/or other information of a distant target. The range to an object is determined by measuring the time delay between transmission of a pulse and detection of the reflected signal.

Below is a list of publications related to LiDAR. Select a publication number to access more detailed information and their respective files available for download.
