LIDAR

http://www.lidarbasemaps.org/

Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) maps use light to three dimensionally map a surface. It uses x,y,z coordinates using the same basic technique as radar, but can show elevation change over a static surface. This is an example of a coordinate map, in which the specific coordinates all have specific x, y, and z coordinates in order to create the overall image of the map.
