Aerial
laser scanning or LIDAR (Light Detection And Ranging) enables the
acquisition of huge masses of data on space regardless of weather,
day-light, high intensity and precision for each object on the Earth's
surface (plant cover, overpopulation, ...). Because of penetration through the vegetation can obtain information on the Earth's surface on overgrown forest areas. In a very short time you can capture huge amounts of data. This also covers the cost of such a substantially lower. In parallel with the passing laser capture photo capture (RGB and CIR). We can get several parallel products:
TIN: Relief shown by the shaded triangular irregular network color-coded according to height.
DEM: Relief presented by the regular grid squares (grid) is colored by the hight scale.
