Frequently Asked Questions

  • A LiDAR scanner is a sophisticated device that employs laser technology to measure distances by emitting pulsed light waves towards an object or surface. These pulses bounce back to the scanner, and the device calculates the time taken for each return, creating detailed point cloud scans. These point clouds represent the environment or object in 3D space with high precision, allowing for the creation of accurate digital twins. LiDAR scanners are essential tools in various applications, especially in the Media & Entertainment industry, for their ability to capture intricate details and dimensions of both small objects and large environments.

  • LiDAR stands for Light Detection and Ranging. It is a remote sensing method that uses light in the form of a pulsed laser to measure variable distances to the Earth. This technology is instrumental in creating high-precision 3D representations of objects and environments, making it invaluable for a wide range of applications within the Media & Entertainment industry, from detailed environment scanning to accurate object modeling.

  • LiDAR technology works by emitting laser beams to measure distances and capture the physical characteristics of objects or environments. These measurements are then compiled into 3D point clouds, forming the basis for detailed 3D imaging and models, sometimes referred to as a 'laser-made 3D image'.

  • The duration of LiDAR Scanning varies based on project requirements. Simple scans can take as little as one minute, while high-resolution scans for intricate details may extend beyond 10 minutes. Our approach is tailored to meet the specific needs of each project, ensuring optimal results.

  • LiDAR services offer immense value in Media & Entertainment, from archiving film sets for future reference to facilitating precise camera tracking. The versatility and speed of LiDAR scanning make it an indispensable tool for pre-visualization, digital environment creation, and enhancing production workflows.

  • LiDAR and Laser Scanning are fundamentally similar, utilizing laser technology to create precise 3D models. The term 'LiDAR' is more commonly used in Media & Entertainment, while 'Laser Scanning' is prevalent in architecture and engineering. Both methods are instrumental in creating laser-made 3D images with high accuracy.
