lidar constant[edit | edit source]
The proportionality factor in the lidar equation, usually represented by C, relating the power returned from a given range to the properties of the scattering medium.
The lidar constant depends on characteristics of the particular lidar system including the transmitted power, pulse length, and receiver aperture.
See lidar equation.
