WHAT DOES LIDAR MEAN IN ENGLISH?

lidar

Lidar

Lidar is a remote sensing technology that measures distance by illuminating a target with a laser and analyzing the reflected light. Although widely considered to be an acronym of LIght Detection And Ranging, the term lidar was actually created as a portmanteau of "light" and "radar." Lidar is popularly used as a technology to make high-resolution maps, with applications in geomatics, archaeology, geography, geology, geomorphology, seismology, forestry, remote sensing, atmospheric physics, airborne laser swath mapping, laser altimetry, and contour mapping.

Definition of lidar in the English dictionary

The definition of lidar in the dictionary is an instrument that detects the position or motion of objects and which operates similarly to a radar, but which uses laser radiation rather than microwaves.
