In the last decade of the 20th century technological progress enabled us to build devices capable of creating digital, three-dimensional models of real objects. This technology, laser scanning, immediately found uses in many fields - including geography. On this lesson you will learn what is LiDAR (that's the abbreviation for laser scanning), understand basics of its operation and see a few of its many applications.
