Abstract

LiDAR technology is a common technique used to perform remote mapping of an area. The LiDAR sensor uses a pulsed laser to measure the distance from it to an object. In this paper, the performance of a 3D scanning by using a 2D LiDAR sensor is implemented. A Scanse Sweep LiDAR sensor (2D) has been mounted on a frame and a servo motor has been used as the base of the device to perform scan on each plane of the environment, in order to achieve a 3D scanning/mapping purpose. The data collected from the 2D LiDAR and the angle of the motor are analyzed to produce the 3D point cloud data (PCD) and visualized using a commercial available 3D visualizer.

Keywords
