Lidar (Often Compared to Radar)

Lidar (Light Detection and Ranging) is often compared to radar due to its use of electromagnetic waves to detect objects. However, lidar uses light waves (laser pulses) rather than radio waves. Lidar is frequently used for creating high-resolution, 3D maps of landscapes, forests, and other environments. It is particularly effective for mapping terrain, detecting vegetation, […]
