The map above is an example of a lidar image. Images taken through lidar is similar to those taken by radar, but are taken using laser instead of radio waves or microwaves. The lasers are created by amplifying light with radiation emissions. The first thing I notice about lidar photographs are their ability to communicate elevations and detail. The color really stands out the image above and I get a good sense of the topography surrounding the mountainous skyscrapers.
