Lidar-derived data is used to produce a 3D point cloud of hazardous environments.
The lidar laser is attached to a rotating turntable. The laser scans an area of 16 vertical sections, or “slices,” per second. In total, the device emits 1.3 million laser pulses per second. This data is then used to produce a 3D point cloud of the environment. © Fraunhofer FKIE. In the visual representation, the point clouds are colored using camera images. The end result is a virtual 3D environment that combines vividness with precision geometric information. Users can move around freely in the virtual scenery. © Fraunhofer FKIE.
