- petargyurov 6mo agoIt's easy but it's not cheap. Well, price is relative but capturing video is certainly cheaper. Also, I am not sure how heavy LIDAR units are, but remember that the heavier the payload the more the flight time is reduced. Some drones can only have a single payload, so if you also want to capture (high-res) video/imgs you need to fly again. It all depends on the use-case.
- Daub 6mo agoThe most available lidar is found on your iPhone, but the results are orders of magnitude less detailed than that derived from photogrammetry. How ever an advantage is that lidar is not confused by reflections.
- taneq 6mo agoHuh? LIDAR absolutely is confused by reflections. Not always the reflections you can see (because often it’s using IR wavelengths) but nonetheless, reflections.
