Problem: According to your textbook, LiDAR renders are especially useful because: According to your textbook, LiDAR renders are especially useful because: The angle of the sun can be digitally manipulated to view the landscape in optimal lighting. The landscape can be heat-mapped based on the temperature of the soil to determine its likely contents. All of these are useful aspects of LiDAR technology. LiDAR requires no additional processing or analysis after the initial readout is received.
