LIDAR Map

Above is an example of LIDAR  which uses an optical remote sensing technology to measure the distance to, or other properties of a target by illuminating it with light and is done so often by using pulses from a laser.  LIDAR uses ultraviolet, visible, as well as near infrared light to show images and can be used with a large number of objects including, rocks, rain, chemical compounds, etc.  Above is an illustration of the city of New York Photo Voltaic potential for solar panels across the city.
