PDF-What is Topographic LiDAR and How it Works

Topographic LiDAR is a powerful tool that has revolutionized the way we create maps model terrain and analyze landscapes It uses light detection and ranging technology to collect data on the earths surface creating highly detailed digital models that can be used for a range of applications In this article well take a deep dive into what topographic LiDAR is how it works and what its used for.

The spherical harmonic expansion of the topographic gravitational potential has two major advantages over Newtonian integrals: it offers computational efficiency and facilitates spectral analysis of the Earth’s gravity field. The high degree harmonic expansion of the topography helps also in geoid computations.. Topographic Maps. Contouring. Topographic contours indicating surface relief. Image taken from US Army training manual.. Solid yellow lines represent surface isobars, line of equal air pressure. Green dashed lines are geopotential heights, the altitude at which 500 millibars of air pressure are attained. These types of contour maps are used by meteorologists. The weather system shown is the Storm of the Century, a powerful winter storm called a nor’easter.. FAMU-FSU College of Engineering. ME & ECE Senior Design. Our Team. Project Manager. Lead ECE.
