Underground Lidar

Underground Lidar

Underground lidar is a technology that allows for survey-grade sensing and mapping. It uses lasers to focus on objects and reflect back, measuring the distance by timing the return of the light. This allows the technique to be used as a remote sensing method. Lidar is...
