Product development of mobile 3D Scanner applied LiDAR SLAM technology

Abstract

In past years, the price of expensive LiDAR (Light Detection And Ranging) has dropped significantly due to competition in the development of self-driving cars and robots. At the same time, SLAM (Simultaneous Localization And Mapping) technology, which consists of self-position estimation and surrounding environment map generation, has attached. The combination of this device and technology has rapidly progressed as LiDAR SLAM technology because it has high ranging accuracy, can be detected at long distances, and is possible even at night.

In this paper, we will introduce the application fields of LiDAR SLAM technology except robotics and the products used this technology, and finally we will discuss future developments.
