LiDAR - Introduction to Light Detection and Ranging
Channel: NEON Science
Date: 2014-06-18

This video presents LiDAR, or light detection and ranging, an active remote sensing system that uses laser energy, to measure the heights of objects like trees and buildings and even the ground. This video was developed by the National Ecological Observatory Network (www.neonscience.org).

Special thanks to Chris Hopkinson for the data used in the final animation in the video!
