ABSTRACT
LiDAR is a remote sensing technology that measures distance by illuminating a target with a laser and analyzing the reflected light. The term LIDAR stands for Light Detection and Ranging. This is a remote sensing method used to examine the surface of the Earth. LiDAR is popularly known as a technology used to make high resolution maps such as flood risk mapping, coastal zone mapping, real estate development, For surveys like oil and gas exploration surveys, engineering or construction surveys, urban modelling, forestry and contour
