The USGS is testing ground-based LIDAR systems [right] for monitoring geomorphic changes at archeological sites in the Grand Canyon. The hope is to mitigate the detrimental impacts caused by repeated surveys that ironically are intended to preserve the sites.
USGS has published a new report that sounds pretty encouraging about the use of this technology.

LiDAR technology is definitely better compared to other sensing technologies used before. this is because LiDAR can detect small and even distant objects with precise measurements.
ReplyDeleteLiDAR technology is definitely one of the best mapping and sensing technology today. This is due to the fact that LiDAR can detect the accurate measurements of small and even distant objects.
ReplyDeleteI consider Lidar as one of the best invention of man. One of the advantages of Lidar is Higher Accuracy and Higher Data Density. Not to mention "minimum human dependence"
ReplyDeleteThank God I found this. I've been searching our old library and I am not satisfied on what I read. Yeah Lidar is one of the leading technology of this century. Thanks for this once again.
ReplyDeleteWhen it comes to mapping and sensing technology, there is no other than Lidar Technology who can do it better. If I am not mistaken, google earth use this kind of technology.
ReplyDeleteI read lots of information about Lidar and I find our that there are lot of company who gives lidar services. Some company can process the LiDAR data to produce a variety of digital products, including: Digital Elevation Models, contour models, vector maps for showing water drainage and more. Lidar is considered one of the top technology today.
ReplyDeleteWhy Lidar is in demand for Mapping and Sensing? It is because LiDAR can detect small and even distant objects with precise measurements.By this reasons, Lidar Technology belong to the top technology for todays generation.
ReplyDeleteLiDAR technology is one of the top technology used today to model the surface of earth. LiDAR is very much useful in generation of bare earth surface model, DTM DEM generation etc.LiDAR technology is better than other sensing technologies available today
