LIDAR



A lidar uses laser (light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation) instead of radio or microwave radiation. Like my last example, this lidar map displays one of the most horrific things to happen in the US. This LIDAR map shows the aftermath of the World Trade Center Terrorist attack. This photo was taken at an altitude of 3,300 feet above ground zero.
