[...] l'altimétrie laser [...] est fondée sur des propriétés géométriques, soit la réflexion d'un rayon laser par tout objet intercepté. La mesure du temps écoulé entre l'émission et la réception donne la distance entre l'appareil et l'objet et, par calcul, l'altitude des surfaces. La combinaison d'un signal laser par balayage et à haute résolution, d'une intensité d'échantillonnage augmentée, d'un positionnement exact par INS-GPS et d'un modèle volumétrique approprié devrait permettre de résoudre les dernières difficultés liées à cette technologie [...] 2, record 1, French, - altim%C3%A9trie%20laser
