LIDAR WAVEFORM  

Definition

  • LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) is an optical remote sensing technology that measures properties of scattered light to find range and/or other information of a distant target. A Full Waveform LiDAR System records the entire emitted and backscattered signal of each laser pulse. Full waveform LiDAR data are more complex to process however they can often capture more information compared to discrete return LiDAR systems. (en)
