LIDAR is an optical remote sensing technology that uses lasers to measure distances. It works by measuring the time delay between transmitting a laser pulse and receiving the reflected signal, which provides highly detailed 3D mapping. LIDAR has a wide variety of uses including archaeology, meteorology, geology, biology, military applications, vehicles, imaging, and 3D mapping.

Editor's Notes
- #2 Hi, My name is Geir Karsrud and I’m studying for a Bachelor of Geomatics degree here at Gjøvik University College. I’m going to give a presentation about Light Detection And Ranging, commonly known by the term LIDAR.
- #3 Due to the short length of the presentation, I will only cover the basics. But we’ll have a look at what, how and why.
- #4 First, we’ll quickly look at just what LIDAR is.
- #5 LIDAR is an optical remote sensing technology that measures properties of scattered light to find range and/or other information of a distant target using laser pulses. Some of the major components of a LIDAR system are a laser, scanner and optics, photodetector and receiver electronics, and position and navigation systems.
- #6 So, how does it work? Let’s look at some of the basic workings of the technology.
- #7 The range to an object is determined by measuring the time delay between transmission of a pulse and detection of the reflected signal while. measuring light reflected back identifies surface types. Scanners using a laser returns more detailed results than similar technologies such as radar, but the dense and focused beam must be directed by mirrors or/and scanner axis to cover the scene. Laser, short for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation, is electromagnetic radiation of any frequency focused into a very dense beam.
- #8 Now, lets have a look at what it can be used for.
- #9 The LIDAR technology is used in several contexts, most notably archaeology, meterology, geology, physics and astronomy, biology and conservation, military and law enforcement, vehicles, imaging and 3D mapping
