LIDAR refers to light detection and ranging. It is another form of remote sensing that uses a laser to pick up images of both natural and manmade structures. The above is a photo using a LIDAR image by SAIC, an urban modeling system. With the LIDAR image they are able to plan upcoming projects and mission planning for emergency response.
