Airborne light detection and ranging (LiDAR) refers to the remote sensing technique that is designed to obtain three-dimensional (3D) data about the surface of the earth and the target object. It comprises laser scanners, inertial navigation systems, cameras, global positioning systems (GPS) and global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receivers, and micro-electromechanical systems. It is available as airborne topographic LiDAR and airborne bathymetric LiDAR. It offers greater efficiency, provides image acquisition, and assists in gathering accurate spatial data. It allows scientists and mapping professionals to easily examine natural and manmade environments while providing accuracy, precision, and flexibility. It also aids in mapping wide areas in a short time with precise measurement. Besides this, it is not affected by any geometrical distortions, such as angular landscape, as compared to other kinds of data collection methods. It is widely utilized for corridor mapping, seismology, and exploration and detection. As a result, airborne LiDAR is employed in the aerospace, defense, agriculture, mining, and transportation industries across the globe.
