LIDAR , light detection and ranging, is used to create high
resolution maps. It is a remote sensing method that uses light as a laser to
detect varying physical features. This is an example of a LIDAR map of the
Interstate 510 Bridge in New Orleans taken in 2012. This uses the light lasers
to map this area and will be used to detect any flooding in urban areas
impacted by Hurricane Isaac.
