What is LiDar: Lidar (Light Detection and Ranging) is a method of determining distances (variable distances) by aiming a laser at an object and measuring the time it takes the reflected light to return to the receiver. It can be used to create 3-D digital representations. Lidar is widely used to create high-resolution maps and has applications in surveying, geodesy, geomatics, archaeology, geography, geology, geomorphology, seismology, forestry, atmospheric physics, laser guidance, airborne laser swath mapping (ALSM), and laser altimetry.

this 67 m² house with almost 1.3 million surfaces. The scale of the 3D model is 1:1, the meshes are optimized in the app, the lighting is implemented in the texture file, and since the scanning was done accurately, no further adjustments to the model were needed in this case. (Ref. 03)
