Lidar

   Shown above is a city that was created by Lidar imaging. Lidar is a remote sensing technology that allows us to process digital information about a landscape.  Lidar is widely used by the military to evaluate certain war ridden areas. This is also commonly used by engineers when they go about trying to layout a city or a development. They do this by flying planes at extreme elevations while using laser pulses to evaluate the land below them.
