Lidar of Pensacola Florida

This module covers one common active sensor: LIDAR or Light Detection and Ranging.

LIDAR is an active remote sensing system that uses laser light instead of microwaves to illuminate the target area. The reading covered basic information on how these processes work and the benefits of each method. A decent bit of literature to read is the Airborne Altimetric LIDAR Tutorial. This tutorial gives an overview of how LiDAR works, how data is collected, how it is processed and the many applications for LiDAR.
