The Fields Under the Forest (林下的田) — LiDAR Survey (Lemo-Opuscar) · LemoLab × Claude Opus 5.5

No AI-generated images, no stock footage, no commercial basemaps. Every point and every surface in the film is
computed from public-domain airborne lidar; the opening photograph is a public-domain aerial; every line, label
and chart is drawn in code. Facts and measured values: FACTS.md.
