  • L1C
    Civilian GPS signal designed for interoperability between GPS and international satellite navigation systems, it uses the same frequency as L1 signal but designed for civilian use.

  • Land Tenure
    Within common law system, it defines the individuals (owners) who holds ownership of the land.
  • Land Title
    Proof of ownership and rights over land.
  • Land Use
    Mapping resulted from classifying raw satellite data into "land use and land cover" (LULC) categories based on the return value of the satellite image.
  • Land Use Mapping
    Categorization of land according to use (e.g. agricultural, residential, and commercial), the usage of land related to the human activities or economic functions in a specific area, like urban use, residential use.
  • Landsat Program
    Landsat is a program represents the world's longest continuously acquired collection of space-based moderate-resolution land remote sensing data by a series satellites to provide images for those who work in agriculture, geology, forestry, regional planning, education, mapping, and global(...)

    Laser Scanning is a non-contact, non-destructive technology that digitally and rapidly captures the shape of physical objects,buildings and landscapes using laser beams.
  • Late Correlators
    Correlator used for tracking phase and correlation peak of signal, it is when the replica signal generated from the receiver is shifted later in time than the incoming signal.
  • Lateral Alignment
    Process of alignment control of survey boat, could be difficult in cases of strong current.
  • Latitude
    Denoted as (φ), it is an imaginary line on Earth's surface, parallel to Equator, measured at 0ᵒ - 90ᵒ North or 0ᵒ - 90ᵒ South.
