LIDAR (light detection and ranging) is a type of remote sensing technology that measures properties of scattered light to find information about a distant target. They are said to be very accurate and give plenty more detail than most aerial photos. This is mostly used by scientist and environmentalist, the photo above is a measurement of the tree hight from the forrest floor.
