Assignment 2 The Basic Principle of LiDAR Bathymetry - Hydrographic Surveying (GLS614)

LiDAR is a Light Detection and Ranging is an optical remote sensing technology that can measure the distance to, or other properties of target by illuminating the target with light using a pulse from a laser. It uses shorter wavelength of EM-spectrum uses to measure properties of scattered light. LIDAR technology has application in many geographic sciences as well as in laser altimetry and LIDAR Contour Mapping. In hydrography, Airborne LiDAR Bathymetry (ALB) has become a conventional method to measure both the topography and bathymetry of nearshore coastal waters and lakes from a low-altitude aircraft using a scanning, pulsed laser beam.
