Open question here, as I am ignorant to the technological details of the LIDAR process. How accurate is it capturing topographical details? And how accurately is that translating into the sculpting?
I ask because watching the Purgatory reveal yesterday, we saw incredibly subtle sculpting on fairways and greens - "rumpled shirts" was sort of the look. I wanted to know just how accurate those details are to real life, or are they digital "noise" - artifacts of a lack of resolution?
To clarify, I hope, let's presume LIDAR is accurate to 1 foot. The subtle contours on the greens were far smaller than that, on the order of inches. Was that accurate, or just digital-translational noise? If we went to Purgatory and measured up close, would we see the same contouring, to the inch, or would we see smooth greens in those areas?
