#20 LIDAR

LIDAR is an optical remote sensing technique that bounces light off of an object, this in turn measures the distance from the ground up to the top of each object. We are then able to produce a computerized image of the vertical relief, with the use of colors.

This is an LIDAR image of where the World Trade Towers once stood in New York City.
