The DIY PiLiDAR scanner project uses a Raspberry Pi for LiDAR mapping. LiDAR scans the surroundings by firing lasers to create a 3D model. Raspberry Pi 4, camera, motors, and LiDAR kit are needed for ...

The ability to scan real-life objects into digital files, capable of being 3D printed or used within other applications for game design, modelling and more is a great function to have in your studio.

With vehicle makers focusing on making our future travel autonomous, a major concern arises: is it going to be safe and secure? If companies expect people to trust their lives with their technology, ...

If you’d like to learn more about lidar technology, sensors and scanners you may be interested in a project called the LD-AIR, which comes equipped with a LiDAR scanner capable of 360° sensing. The ...

In the self-driving car business, decisions are only as good as your sensor data. While the state-of-the-art Velodyne LIDAR that adorns benchmark research vehicles will set you back $80,000, winning ...

I have a question about 3D scanning devices: Why aren't they easier to access? Today a project by Thomas Megel made the rest of the handheld smart device universe look silly by comparison. With ...

Austin Russell’s startup, Luminar, is aiming to get high-res lidar laser scanners cheap enough to enable self-driving subcompacts. Five years ago, physicist Austin Russell saw better laser sensors as ...

Although there are plenty of methods for effectively imaging a 3D space, LIDAR is widely regarded as one of the most effective methods. These systems use a rapid succession of laser pulses over a wide ...
