A New Perspective: Guest Blogs
The Wasted Point Cloud Data Sets

Description: Wasted PointCloud 1

Within the last ten years, laser scanning has become mainstream. As the 3D data acquisition process has progressed, the demand for related services has peaked, and this significant increase in demand has not always been served in the best possible way. On many occasions, customers have been convinced of the benefits of acquiring point cloud data sets only to discover that they would never be able to use them on their own. As a result, many customers end up with "The Wasted Point Cloud Data Sets."

World’s First (and Second) Solid-State LiDAR
Description: Description: Quanergy CarQuanergy has chosen CES to showcase their solid-state LiDAR for autonomous vehicles--seen left in the Batmobile BMW's "Seeing Car." 
When Quanergy announced their solid-state LiDAR a few months ago, it was the only such LiDAR known to me… but then Velodyne came in hot on their heels with (what appears to be) their own solid-state LiDAR. So now there are two--and more are likely to be on the way. It goes to show you just how fast the LiDAR market is moving these days. 
Solid-state LiDAR is a big deal because it works without using any mechanical parts to spin the LiDAR's laser beam. As such, Quanergy and Velodyne can make their sensors much smaller and less expensive than traditional LiDAR. Quanergy's unit, for instance, weighs less than a pound. That makes this type of LiDAR a wonderful fit for installation in a vehicle, like, say, an autonomous car.

If Quanergy and Velodyne are able to manufacture this awesomely cheap hardware right now for vehicles, what does that mean for us? That means it might only be a matter of time before someone ports the technology into solutions for other applications like UAVs, or really precise handheld LiDAR scanners

 

Antarctic Whaling Stations in 10 Billion Points
In 2013 and 2014, the government of South Georgia and the Norwegian Directorate for Cultural Heritage commissioned a detailed LiDAR scanning survey of the remains of whaling stations on South Georgia. The results were one of the largest data sets in the world-- measuring in at more than 10 billion points.
