LiDAR is the acronym for Light Detection And Ranging. It is an ultraviolet, visible, or infrared remote sensing instrument that uses laser pulses to detect a target. The principle of LiDAR is to emit laser pulses to illuminate a target and analyze the reflected radiance to detect the spatial location of that target. LiDAR is widely used for military purposes, atmospheric sounding, and underwater detection.
