PiLiDAR - DIY 360° 3D Panorama Scanner
WORK IN PROGRESS
Core Features:
LiDAR : custom serial driver for LDRobot LD06 , LD19 or STL27L CRC package integrity check Hardware PWM calibrated using curve fitting 2D live visualization and export (numpy or CSV)
Panorama : 6K 360° spherical map stitched from fisheye photos using Hugin Panorama photo stitcher constant camera exposure by reading EXIF data of automatic constant white balance by iterative optimization of color gains
3D Scene : assembly of 3D scenes from 2D planes based on angle and offsets sampling vertex colors from panorama Open3D visualization and export (PCD, PLY or e57) aligning multiple scenes using global registration and ICP fine-tuning Poisson Surface Meshing (very slow on Pi4, recommended to run on PC)
preliminary results
single scans, no registration, no post processing.
