Aerial Lidar (Light Detection and Ranging) is aerial mapping technology that uses calibrated laser returns from the earth’s surface are reflected to an overflying GPS-monitored aircraft equipped with on-board positional and IMU sensors. After post-flight production processes, the acquired Lidar Map data determines the precise elevation and geospatial location of features on the earth’s surface. With innovations such as multiple intensity returns and increased pulse repetition rates, Lidar data is an accurate and effective method for creating three-dimensional topographical aerial maps and highly accurate aerial surveys of both surface terrain elements and man-made structures.
Lidar is commonly used to make high-resolution maps, with applications in surveying, geodesy, geomatics, archaeology, geography, geology, geomorphology, seismology, forestry, atmospheric physics, laser guidance, airborne laser swath mapping (ALSM), and laser altimetry. The technology is also used in control and navigation for autonomous cars.
