Introduction to LiDAR in Geoarchaeology from a Technological Perspective

LiDAR is a remote sensing method established in the geosciences for capturing highly accurate three-dimensional geodata. It is increasingly used to support geoarchaeological research due to a range of advantages, including survey-grade data quality, real 3D geodata, nonselective coverage of scenes with high measurement density, on-demand data capturing, and comprehensive filtering options based on geometric and radiometric information.
