Laser induced fluorescence spectra of various samples

including rocks

minerals

soils

plants

water

and man-made building materials were measured using remote sensing system of laser fluorescence designed and assembled by China itself. The study showed the locations

intensities

and their combined indices of fluorescence peaks from terrestrial features can be used not only to distinguish various terrestrial features above-mentioned

but also to distinguish their sub-unites. The study

additionally

showed remote sensing system of laser fluorescence has considerable extensive prospect of application

and can be expected

at some aspects

to exceed the currently often used passive remote sensing based on reflectance spectra.
