What is LiDAR sensor?

LiDAR is a survey method that measures the distance to a target by illuminating the target with a surrounding laser and measuring the reflected pulses with a sensor. The difference in laser time and wavelength can then be used to create a 3-dimensional (3D) digital model of the object. The name LiDAR, now considered an acronym for Light Detection And Ranging.

LiDAR is commonly used to create high-resolution maps, with applications in geodesy, geoinformatics, archaeology, geography, geology, geomorphology, seismology, forestry, and gas physics. spaceflight, laser navigation, aerial laser mapping, and laser altimeter. The technology is also used to control and navigate some autonomous vehicles.”

Polycam – 3D spatial scanning software

With the appearance of LiDAR sensor on iPhone, scanning 3D space (3D) has become easier than ever. And on the App Store, there are also countless software that allow you to scan 3D space, but the most prominent of them is Polycam.

Polycam – LiDAR & 3D Scanner is developed by Polycam Inc. allows you to scan and render 3-D images on your phone and allows you to export them as photos or videos of your choice. All you need to do is go back to the image and move around and you already have a 3D model. This App is currently rated 4.8 stars on the App Store with more than 5 thousand reviews.

Currently, Polycam only supports the following models: iPad Pro 12.9″ (4th generation), iPad Pro 11″ (2nd generation), iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max equipped with LiDAR sensor
