Light detection and ranging (LIDAR) over recent years has become widely accepted as an input tool for generating extremely accurate terrain, vegetation and infrastructure models to be used in a variety of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and management applications:
- Mapping and monitoring erosion prone areas – coastines, hill country, waterways.
- Forestry management – yield, harvest, planting
- Infrastructure mapping – Power distribution networks, construction, road, rail.
- Biodiversity – Habitat structure, composition and change
- Disaster management – Flood, earthquake
