Abstract

Lidar is a technology for data processing and remote sensing using active optical systems (laser), including the phenomena of light reflection from the surface of the Earth to conduct precision measurements of X, Y, Z coordinates. It's established that accuracy increases when using a posteriori information and partition the scene into homogeneous areas.

Keywords: lidar; remote sensing; optical systems; landscape; coordinates
