Stray Scanner vs ScanKit

Note: requires a device with LiDAR. The iPad Pro, iPhone 12 Pro or iPhone 12 Pro Max currently have LiDAR sensors on them. Stray Scanner allows you to record color, depth and IMU datasets and export them to your desktop computer. For machine learning and dense mapping applications, you need a dataset to work with. Stray Scanner allows you to collect RGB-D datasets with your iPhone. The recorded datasets contain: - color images - depth frames from the LiDAR sensor - depth confidence maps - camera position estimates for each frame - camera calibration matrix - IMU measurements Once recorded, the datasets can easily be moved to your desktop computer by connecting your device with a Lightning cable and accessing the files through Finder. Put your iPhone's LiDAR scanner to good use. No more fumbling around calibrating and configuring depth sensors. Shoot datasets straight from your iPhone.

IDEA ScanKit facilitates the extraction of extensive spatiotemporal data from Apple devices with LiDAR Scanners in order to enable researchers to perform external processing with data that would otherwise be only accessible through custom apps. DATA According to the users' selection, raw data is collected in form of RGB videos of a specified quality, ARKit depth data, and ARKit confidence data. QRCodes can be detected and ARWorldMap information from ARKit can also be directly saved to disk in a JSON format. Point clouds are generated automatically on the fly and are saved in the .las file format.
