LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) provides precise 3D measurements of surface topography by measuring laser pulse returns.This is critical for detailed terrain modeling, landslide detection, and infrastructure planning.
22.
Which of the following is NOT a typical component of a GIS system?
Supervised classification uses training data from known land cover types to classify other pixels automatically.This improves accuracy by leveraging prior knowledge.
24.
Which spectral range is MOST useful for identifying mineral compositions in geological remote sensing?
Thermal infrared detects emitted heat and is sensitive to mineralogical differences due to their thermal properties.It is valuable in mineral exploration.
25.
What type of data visualization in GIS displays continuous surfaces like elevation or temperature?
UAVs or drones fly at low altitudes, enabling very high spatial resolution images compared to satellites or aircraft.They are increasingly used in detailed site studies.
