Lidar Build
David Cambridge:
Hello All
This week, and after about 4 months of weekends, I finally got the first rendered images from my Lidar project. If you don’t know about Lidar, they can produce 3D scans and work a bit like radar but use beams of infra-red light instead of radio waves.
I’ve now got a few hundred hours of footage to edit down to make the build video, but for now here is a demonstration.

Here is picture the scanner has built up. Take a look at the YouTube link above for a rendered video where I move through the captured 3D world.

Joules:
Very nice David, what level of precision are you getting in the point cloud ?
I wish this had been available years ago, modelling marine interiors for refit you had to be a contortionist surveyor, using a single laser measure, and it took hours. How fast are the scans ?
David Cambridge:
Hi Joules
I’ve used the Garmin Light V3 module, and the data sheet claims update rates up to 650 Hz with the trade-off between accuracy and speed.
I’ve not done much experimentation with configuration parameters, but out of the box I think I was getting about 120 points per second with a flutter of around plus\minus 3 cm on a wall 2 m away. In terms of scan speed, it’s really whatever you want, with the compromise between resolution and capture time.
