LIDAR

http://www.noaanews.noaa.gov/stories/s798b.htm

Lidar is a mapping technique where a laser is projected onto the Earth's surface and reflected back and analyzed to create a composite image. This image is a Lidar composite of Ground Zero in New York City. Lidar can also be used in archaeology to plan excavations, agriculture to create topographic maps of fields, or even to generate rapid topographic maps for automated vehicles.
