11.24.1. LiDAR and InSAR

Try these first

1. 1.

   What does LiDAR stand for?

   Hint

   Think about what types of light are involved.

2. 2.

   What type of terrain data can LiDAR provide?

   Hint

   Consider the precision level mentioned in class.

3. 3.

   What precision does LiDAR typically provide in terrain mapping?

   • Millimeter
   • Centimeter
   • Decimeter

   Hint

   Think about what was discussed during the LiDAR session.

4. 4.

   True or False: InSAR is used to measure surface deformations with millimeter accuracy.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Remember the specific accuracy discussed.

5. 5.

   Explain a scenario in which you would choose to use LiDAR over traditional surveying methods. Discuss the advantages.

   Hint

   Consider the environments where traditional methods might struggle.

6. 6.

   Design a monitoring plan for an infrastructure project using both LiDAR and InSAR for surface deformation assessment. Detail how you would integrate the two technologies.

   Hint

   Think about how each technology complements the other.
