Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
LiDAR (Light detection and ranging) technology has revolutionized the field of remote sensing and mapping by providing high-resolution, three-dimensional data of the Earth's surface. Its applications span various domains, including forestry, agriculture, urban planning, geology, and environmental monitoring. This Special Issue aims to gather cutting-edge research and advancements in the application of LiDAR remote sensing and mapping. Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit original research articles, comprehensive reviews, and detailed case studies that highlight the transformative impact of LiDAR technology.
