Smartphone-based 3D capture to update existing laser scan models: A comparative analysis of iOS 3D scanning apps in industrial environments

Thank you to Lukas Bärwinkel of Mainz University for including Dot3D in his Master’s Thesis on "Smartphone-based 3D capture to update existing laser scan models". And for sharing this comprehensive report with our team.

It's safe to say we are very pleased to see how well Dot3D performed across the board..."Taking into account all aspects of analysis, especially the high relevance of dense and detailed data collection, Dot3D is the most recommended solution overall." These results are especially impressive considering the study did not even particularly factor in many of Dot3D's strongest competitive advantages, such as its large scene capabilities, targeting workflows, accuracy control, data security, local processing speed, etc. Instead we see Dot3D being analyzed in a more small-scale, scientific environment (without even any AprilTags!), and are glad to still see confirmation of what we have all grown to expect out of Dot3D: the most reliably dense, detailed, accurate, and functional point clouds attainable from iOS LiDAR technology.
