A topographic LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) system is a type of remote sensing technology that uses lasers to scan the Earth's surface and create high-resolution maps of topography. These maps can be used for a variety of purposes, such as land use planning, flood risk assessment, and the design of infrastructure projects. LIDAR systems work by emitting laser pulses and measuring the time it takes for the pulses to bounce back after they hit the ground. By analyzing the reflected laser pulses, LIDAR can create detailed 3D maps of the terrain, including the location and height of trees, buildings, and other features on the ground.
