They capture a \"2.5-D\" image of a scene by sending out thousands of laser pulses and using time-of-flight calculations to determine the distance to the first reflecting surface in the scene. Rather than setting up a collection of objects in real life and actually sending lasers into the scene, one can simply create a scene out of 3d models and \"scan\" it by casting rays at the models. This is a great resource for any researchers who work with 3D model/surface/point data and LiDAR data. The synthetic scanner can be used to produce data sets for which a ground truth is known in order to ensure algorithms are behaving properly before moving to \"real\" LiDAR scans. Also, noise can be added to the points to attempt to simulate a real LiDAR scan for researchers who do not have access to the very expensive equipment required to obtain real scans.","license":"You are licensing your work to Kitware Inc. under the\nCreative Commons Attribution License Version 3.0.\n\nKitware Inc. agrees to the following:\n\nKitware is free\n * to copy, distribute, display, and perform the work\n * to make derivative works\n * to make commercial use of the work\n\nUnder the following conditions:\n\\\"by Attribution\\\" - Kitware must attribute the work in the manner specified by the author or licensor.\n\n * For any reuse or distribution, they must make clear to others the license terms of this work.\n * Any of these conditions can be waived if they get permission from the copyright holder.\n\nYour fair use and other rights are in no way affected by the above.\n\nThis is a human-readable summary of the Legal Code (the full license) available at\nhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/legalcode","keywords":["3d model","Synthetic Scanner","LiDAR"],"authors":[{"name":"Doria, David","email":"daviddoria@gmail.com","affiliations":["Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute"],"corresponding":true}],"date_submitted":"2009-09-14 21:20:06","external_publication_id":695,"revision_cids":["bafkreidac6xds5kpe7y3sh6opd7n67k42yakusqnh67m6k5qeef6uatqoq"],"github":"https://github.com/midas-journal/midas-journal-695.git","thumbnail":"https://pub.desci.com/ipfs/bafkreic5fc5gfxkxcy5otytihuc3r5dup5khpagly4u4jhp5amksfe2mca"},"mdast":{"type":"root"},"downloads":[{"url":"https://ipfs.desci.com/ipfs/bafkreifvsfpuvco5ntzeny6m4dh3ipdvxlfpab5jrv3josqbts27cu4idy","title":"root/insight-journal-metadata.json","filename":"insight-journal-metadata.json","extra":{"size_bytes":3140,"type":"file"}},{"url":"https://pub.desci.com/ipfs/bafkreighwops2vxyrcvom3gqr3vhyjbg5674kzrsh46bton6g52zhkmbdi","title":"root/code/CMakeLists.txt","filename":"CMakeLists.txt","extra":{"size_bytes":898,"type":"file"}},{"url":"https://pub.desci.com/ipfs/bafkreigndazvugsbidyv44jwe5x2buc4o5f66xm24zynx3naybrw7fcphq","title":"root/code/PerformScan.cpp","filename":"PerformScan.cpp","extra":{"size_bytes":4149,"type":"file"}},{"url":"https://pub.desci.com/ipfs/bafkreihwiblqy7un4qaavk76op7ve4eftk2uoeeyocdvk3fmdotu4clw3e","title":"root/code/TestPoint.cpp","filename":"TestPoint.cpp","extra":{"size_bytes":1472,"type":"file"}},{"url":"https://pub.desci.com/ipfs/bafkreiapatrcmqxqh4lyrul5cfyiegkw276hf6yk7v26dn2g436xbihhpe","title":"root/code/TestScanner.cpp","filename":"TestScanner.cpp","extra":{"size_bytes":4748,"type":"file"}},{"url":"https://pub.desci.com/ipfs/bafkreievmqeghtkgi7zgcnwvzljl6fkquhitjhp5gmff45nywzywu44svu","title":"root/code/XZPlane.vtp","filename":"XZPlane.vtp","extra":{"size_bytes":2719,"type":"file"}},{"url":"https://pub.desci.com/ipfs/bafkreigmrwsgvhttcjz23qt24jur3dmsum4wncszvpb53ix43ar2ej6lhq","title":"root/code/vtkLidarPoint.cxx","filename":"vtkLidarPoint.cxx","extra":{"size_bytes":1038,"type":"file"}},{"url":"https://pub.desci.com/ipfs/bafkreibrbjw3vd4wl4gujxggh6pzo7lhqozqpldo7j75oigoogu6rh57ei","title":"root/code/vtkLidarPoint.h","filename":"vtkLidarPoint.h","extra":{"size_bytes":1808,"type":"file"}},{"url":"https://pub.desci.com/ipfs/bafkreihh4vx5izmczubwnflh25b4mbcedre5dqjuri7utafmgkli6fni24","title":"root/code/vtkLidarScanner.cxx","filename":"vtkLidarScanner.cxx","extra":{"size_bytes":20508,"type":"file"}},{"url":"https://pub.desci.com/ipfs/bafkreiewpinq7d67qz7c2rlj7kzxbef5jcvxpocll3xiqqprgimslxyqva","title":"root/code/vtkLidarScanner.h","filename":"vtkLidarScanner.h","extra":{"size_bytes":5989,"type":"file"}},{"url":"https://pub.desci.com/ipfs/bafkreibty23ofsrh4eqlojmrcpew4ga3sma4agbqe3eltwugg2ltuxuobm","title":"root/code/vtkRay.cxx","filename":"vtkRay.cxx","extra":{"size_bytes":2062,"type":"file"}},{"url":"https://pub.desci.com/ipfs/bafkreicdfiaade7pwb6v3hxfdx2nydjohbzzxgz5dyp72s4eagwno6dk6i","title":"root/code/vtkRay.h","filename":"vtkRay.h","extra":{"size_bytes":1174,"type":"file"}},{"url":"https://dweb.link/ipfs/bafybeibaxd2xnew3lsvnrjrv6qtron7lianzy4pubjyaxln6kwga4mgfka","title":"root/article.pdf","filename":"article.pdf","extra":{"size_bytes":2283260,"type":"file"}}],"references":{"cite":{"order":[]},"data":{}}}
