A Pi-based LiDAR Scanner.

Early LiDAR systems were cumbersome and expensive but as the march of time continues on, these systems have become much more accessible to the average person. So much so that you can quickly attach one to a Raspberry Pi and perform LiDAR imaging for a very reasonable cost.

@Olly42 15 years ago I worked for a company that was strapping LIDAR cameras to the underside of helicopters and flying over power lines to generate 3D models for vegetation management. cumbersome and expensive indeed!
