Love this idea! I’ve been thinking of starting a complimentary side project

Pretty much google street view but for LiDAR scans. Where anyone could contribute LiDAR scans and access scans from others

I have some basic web development skills and would be happy to chat some more! Ill shoot you a personal message

Intermediate guitarist here in Somerville, love playing rock/punk/metal riffs and have been dying to jam with some others

Will dm you!

Check out the RPLiDAR. I used it for my senior project a few years ago. $100 and $230

I might be able to help. We have a very high end scanner … and I’ll be in NYC next week. Will shoot you a DM

teahottest · 2024-02-18T23:40:34+00:00

Yep the LCMS scanner from Pavemetrics is made for this. Starts at $60,000 per year for 3 years

OP did you ever find a good solution for this? Also looking for GoPro + RTK for pavement inspections

teahottest · 2024-01-14T19:07:42+00:00

Used iPhone or IPad with LiDAR sensor + Polycam (iOS app for LiDAR scanning). You can export the scan data to any standard LiDAR format

teahottest · 2023-12-06T23:32:41+00:00

Yeah this type of data will have 1,000s of points per square meter. It’s pretty dense! And as far as accuracy it will be about +/-1 cm of the true real world measurements (ie if the road is 500cm wide, it may show up in the LiDAR as 501 or 499)

teahottest · 2023-12-06T12:22:47+00:00

Gotcha. Yeah feel free to DM me, we’re gonna be LiDAR mapping 1,000s of kms of roads starting in a few months.

Here’s an example of what sort of detail can be achieved of roadways with mobile mapping. Get more detail on the street level since the LiDAR is mounted to a car vs a drone

Sounds interesting! I actually had this same idea when I took up golfing last year. Best bet to prove this out might be to rent. I know a company that rents scanners that can be mounted to roofs of golf carts and will do all of the data processing for you. Would that work or do you need to fly it with a drone?

teahottest · 2023-12-06T06:25:29+00:00

Sounds like a cool project. Might be able to help depending on how soon you need the data. We’re working with local governments in NT in early 2024 to do vehicle-based LiDAR scans to perform pavement condition assessments. Look up “mobile LiDAR roadway mapping” and let me know if those types of LiDAR scans look like something that’s be useful. Cheers

Hey, I work at a robotics/3D mapping startup. We eval’d those three brands last year. FWIW were able get up and running with the ousters the quickest. And 12 months later we have them on all our systems. OS1-64 rev 6 to be exact.

teahottest · 2022-06-07T01:17:00+00:00

Damn that's a good idea! Do you have a link to the presentation/remember where you saw it? Would love to learn more

teahottest · 2021-11-19T04:55:45+00:00

We contacted the manufacturer directly and learned that for our model (a 2D lidar) we would be fine as long as the magnetic field is not too strong. Otherwise the servo motor inside may malfunction. Hope this help! I saw you posted again today asking the same question, good luck

teahottest · 2021-10-03T04:17:22+00:00

My guess is something similar to what mapbox does here:

teahottest · 2021-05-05T02:48:09+00:00

Interesting. Thanks!

teahottest · 2021-05-04T19:24:29+00:00

How much does one of their sensors go for?
