Laser scanning is a technique that involves emitting laser pulses and measuring the time it takes for the pulses to reflect off objects in the scene to generate a 3D point cloud. Meanwhile, 360 captures are a series of 2D images stitched together to create a 360-degree view of the scene and also generate a 3D point cloud. Below are some of the benefits of utilizing 360 captures.
- Cost: Laser scanning equipment can be expensive, while 360 captures can be done using relatively inexpensive cameras and software.
- Speed: Laser scanning can be time-consuming, as it requires the laser scanner to be moved around the object or scene to capture all the necessary data. 360 captures can be done much more quickly, as it involves taking a series of images from a stationary position.
- Ease of use: Laser scanning can be complex and require specialized training, while 360 captures are relatively simple and can be done by anyone with a basic understanding of photography.
- Data resolution: 360 captures provided more than enough quality for our systems to be able to generate point clouds and 3D models based on them.
- Data format: 360 capture data is typically stored as a series of images, which can be easily shared and viewed on a variety of devices. Laser scanning data is typically stored in a 3D point cloud format, which may require specialized software to view and manipulate.
