Lidarid

Lidarid is a term that can refer to several related concepts within the field of light detection and ranging (lidar). Most commonly, it is used as a shorthand for lidar data or lidar-derived products. This includes raw point cloud data, which is a collection of 3D points representing the surveyed environment, as well as processed outputs such as digital elevation models (DEMs), digital surface models (DSMs), or 3D city models. The term can also informally describe the process of acquiring lidar data or the technology itself. In some contexts, it might even refer to software or algorithms used for lidar data processing. Essentially, lidarid encapsulates the output and applications stemming from lidar technology. Its use is generally informal and context-dependent, helping to quickly convey a connection to lidar-related information or deliverables.
