How Does LiDAR Remote Sensing Work? Light Detection and Ranging

This NEON Science video overviews what lidar or light detection and ranging is, how it works and what types of information it can provide. The video was produced by the National Ecological Observatory Network - a non profit project devoted to open science and open data.

As a geoscientist working a lot with ALS I commend this video so much. Most of our highly demanding clients that have stolen our specs have no idea. And yes, I had a client asking why do we joke so much about Emu's. Yes, we are in Australia!

These and other instructional/educational videos are crucial. We need more of this on the internet. I work in the GEOINT field and find this to be the most comprehensive instructional piece to explain LiDAR to my subordinates and leadership.

This is great! I've been doing research in LiDAR for a while and i'll probably point people to this video when they want to know what the hell I do ahah!!

[chainsawvsgod]

Excellent video. Explained it really well. I'll use what I've learnt here for my upcoming exam.

Thank you! What a great introduction for fourth grade students!

Lolo! Very entertaining and informative video on LiDAR! Always wondered what the heck it was and this video did the job great and with jokes! May take a remote sensing class now :O

Its a good video, sticking to basics and keeping it simple.

Information part of video = A+. Attempts at making jokes = cringy.

an excellent way to explain using humor, BRAVO

It might read the landslides as well as earthquakes areas on jeopardy fans, think about it, what a great discovery. Being ready to prevent natural disasters we are never prepaired enough to save lives, a great thing indeed

[imtiazhimel]

Extremely helpful. And very nice presentation.

[viannyahimbisibwe]

yeah well done. Am looking forward to learning more with using remote sensing in ecosystem management

[advancedgeographicinformat]

This was a great educational video that our company will use to help educate our future employees for further growth and development, keep up the great work, you guys just got a

Great and helpful video. The emu joke was cringe, but actually extremely useful, as I will remember IMU for my exam tomorrow! Thanks :)

This is a great video. I have watched it many times over the last 8 months for college and each time I pick up some little detail I didn't remember from the last time I watched it. Very good Video. Thank you. Thank you also for going into the pulse return a little deeper in the comments section, I too was wondering about that as well. Thank you again.

in short : lidar uses light and measures distance. very informative.

[rameshpraveen]

Wow, Nice Video, I have 8-year experience in Lidar classification but still, I can't explain lidar like this. I really love this way of explanation :-)

thank you for using CC licenz for that great video!
