Resumo


The widespread use of point clouds in many applications is prompting many researchers to find new ways to generate such datasets, as the technology is still costly and slow depending on the experiment’s parameters. Virtual scanning, a computer simulation of scanning a real target, is one of these solutions. This paper is a short presentation of the current development of a light detection and ranging (LiDAR) system simulator based on metrological parameters, sensor error model and light scattering treatment.
