Why is a 'hybrid' approach to 3D scanning necessary?

No single sensor can capture everything. A hybrid approach combines Terrestrial LiDAR (for ground-level precision), Aerial Photogrammetry (for roof/terrain coverage), and Cyber Scanning (for organic detail). This ensures there are no 'gaps' in the data, creating a complete 3D model of any subject.

What is 'Ground Truth' data in AI and simulation?

Ground Truth refers to data that is known to be real and accurate. In AI training and simulation, high-fidelity Lidar scans provide the 'Ground Truth' needed to train autonomous vehicles or machine learning algorithms to recognize real-world objects and environments correctly.

How accurate is terrestrial LiDAR scanning?

Terrestrial LiDAR is the gold standard for accuracy, typically measuring within +/- 1-2mm. This level of precision is essential for tracking camera movement in VFX, verifying construction tolerances, or creating legally accurate records of crime scenes and heritage sites.

Can drones create accurate 3D models of large landscapes?

Yes. Through aerial photogrammetry and airborne LiDAR, heavy-lift drones can map vast areas (like forests or cities) with centimetre-level accuracy. Visualskies’ VS Aerial team uses this to capture environments that are too large or dangerous for ground crews to access.

What happens if a scanning location has poor lighting?

Modern LiDAR scanners are 'active' sensors, meaning they send out their own laser light and can work in total darkness. For photogrammetry, we use cross-polarized flash photography to illuminate the subject evenly, removing shadows and capturing pure colour information.
