South Korea Creates LIDAR Map of Dokdo Islets

I am surprised someone hadn’t thought of doing this sooner:

The National Research Institute of Cultural Heritage (NRICH) introduced LiDAR, a new technology which made a debut scrutinizing the Dokdo islets last week, in commemoration of Dokdo Day, which falls on Oct. 25. The day marks King Gojong’s official proclamation of Dokdo as territory attached to Ulleung Island in 1900.

LiDAR, which stands for Light Detection and Ranging, is a technology using lasers to illuminate and measure the reflected light to estimate the distance to a target. This uses s distant red light to 3D scan the terrain. 

The drone has become a popular means of cultural heritage management and preservation as it can reach places that people cannot to acquire photo and video data. A drone equipped with LiDAR can provide more meticulous information on the topography and ecology.

Now if they could just find their own arse…

This is wonderful technology and it is being perverted to take everyone’s eyes off the fratricidal dictater with nukes and generate racial hatred toward a bunch of former enemies who are now allies and domestic trading partners.

Good job, Moon… Keep the cartoons rolling!!!
