LiDAR is an acronym which stands for Light Detection and Ranging. It is a remote sensing method that uses light in the form of a pulsed laser to measure ranges (variable distances) to the Earth. These light pulses, combined with other data recorded by the airborne system generate precise, three-dimensional information about the shape of the Earth and its surface characteristics.
LiDAR packages consists of a laser, a scanner, and a specialized GPS receiver. Airplanes, helicopters, and UAVs (drones) are the most commonly used platforms for acquiring lidar data. LiDAR capturing comes in two different flavors, topographic and bathymetric. Topographic lidar typically uses a near-infrared laser to map the land, while bathymetric lidar uses water-penetrating green light to also measure seafloor and riverbed elevations.
A drone is an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) that is fitted with various equipment including photography.
