LiDAR

Light detection and ranging (LiDAR) uses laser pulse technology to measure varying distances to create an image. The laser is sent out in pulses and the light reflected is analyzed to create an image. This photo is a LiDAR image of a landslide. Through the LiDAR technology, the depth and texture of the landslide can be portrayed.
