LIDAR IMAGE

Black and White Aerial Photo

The images above, both found at http://www.ohioarchaeology.org/joomla/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=233&Itemid=32 are images of the same area. The bottom, a black and white aerial photo, makes it difficult to differentiate the Indian mounds found at this Ohio local. The top photo, a LIDAR image, shows the mounds in relatively high detail. In situations such as this, when fine-detail is helpful and desired, LIDAR has proven very useful.
