LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) scanning is a remote sensing technology that uses laser light to measure distances. By emitting laser pulses and analyzing the light that bounces back, LiDAR creates precise, high-resolution 3D maps and models of environments, objects, or terrain. Commonly used in fields like autonomous driving, environmental mapping, and construction, LiDAR provides accurate spatial data that supports applications in surveying, archaeology, forestry, and urban planning.

LiDAR is an industry standard 3D survey technology, and a reliable method to generate digital twin's due to it's rapid data collection and data accuracy.
