    Study Notes

    Advantages of LiDAR over Radar

    • The main advantage of LiDAR over radar in remote sensing is its higher accuracy and resolution due to the shorter wavelength of light.

    LiDAR Components

    • The primary component used in LiDAR to measure the earth's surface is a laser.

    LiDAR Measurements

    • In addition to the earth's surface, LiDAR sensors can measure vegetation height, building heights, and atmospheric conditions.

    Limitations of LiDAR

    • A limitation of LiDAR signal compared to radar in remote sensing is that LiDAR signals are more susceptible to interference from atmospheric conditions like fog, dust, and smoke.
    • A limitation of LiDAR signals in remote sensing is that they have a shorter range and are more affected by environmental factors.

    LiDAR Technical Specifications

    • LiDARs in remote sensing typically use a wavelength of around 900-1600 nanometers.

    LiDAR vs Radar

    • The primary difference between LiDARs and radars in remote sensing is that LiDARs use laser light, while radars use radio waves.

    LiDAR Functionality

    • The scanning mirror in LiDAR measurement is used to direct the laser beam to different points on the earth's surface.

    LiDAR Laser

    • The type of laser used in LiDAR for measuring the earth's surface is a near-infrared laser.

    LiDAR Signal Characteristics

    • A characteristic of LiDAR signals in comparison to radar signals in remote sensing is that they have a much higher frequency and a shorter wavelength.
