LiDAR 3: LiDAR and AI

How do you find a Viking fortress you can't even see? Researchers mapped over 42,000 square kilometres of Denmark using Airborne Laser Scanning, which is precise enough to detect subtle elevation changes even under dense forest canopies. They trained an AI algorithm to hunt for circular features, using historic 18th-century maps and terrain data to filter out modern roundabouts and ancient ice-age craters
