I work in state government and we use drones with Lidar to do topographical maps and reveal all kinds of stuff.
It does it by analyzing subtle changes in topography elevation and ground density on a minute scale.

It's even used by archeologists to reveal ancient structures that may be hidden by trees, underbrush or sand.
