Term · Computing and IT · MLC-T-CMP-000679

Light Detection and Ranging, a remote sensing method that uses pulsed laser light to measure distances to the Earth's surface. It generates precise, three-dimensional information about the shape of the Earth and its surface characteristics. LiDAR systems can collect hundreds of thousands of measurements per second.
