Pilidar Deep Dive: Open-Source 360° 3D Scanning from LiDAR to Point Cloud

A Science Corner breakdown of the Pilidar DIY project: a Raspberry Pi–based, open-source 360° scanner. We explore how LiDAR distance data, panoramic imaging, and color-aware fusion create textured 3D scenes, using Open3D and Hugin to stitch and visualize the results—without getting lost in the math.
