📷 Photogrammetry VS LiDAR:
Which Wins in the World of 3D Mapping?
When it comes to 3D mapping and spatial data acquisition, two heavyweights battle it out: photogrammetry and LiDAR. Let’s break down their strengths and applications to see who comes out on top!
📷 Photogrammetry: Capturing the World with Cameras
📸 Principle: Photogrammetry relies on photographs to create 3D models.
🏞️ Applications: Ideal for mapping landscapes, urban planning, and cultural heritage preservation.
💡 Advantages: Cost-effective, accessible, and can be achieved with standard cameras.
📡 LiDAR: Scanning with Laser Precision
🌐 Principle: LiDAR employs laser beams to measure distances and create detailed 3D point clouds.
🚗 Applications: Perfect for autonomous vehicles, forestry management, and precision agriculture.
🌪️ Advantages: Highly accurate, works in various conditions, and offers real-time data.
🧐 Photogrammetry: If you need cost-effective 3D models for urban planning or historical preservation, photogrammetry is your go-to.
🤖 LiDAR: For tasks requiring high precision and real-time data, like autonomous vehicles or forest analysis, LiDAR shines.
