LIDAR




LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) is a 3-D remote sensing technology that measures the properties of light to find the range of a distant target. This image is of lower manahatten, New York. This type of imagery was used to help examine and identify the amount and height of rubble created after the terrorist attack on 9/11.
