    • This is wonderful. What I have been mulling about of late - is LIDAR drones and LIDAR accessories to bicycles - it would be great to have a lidar mapper on my MTB Here is my MTB…

    • If you could have an accelerometer read, like from the phone running the app, mitigate vibration offsets in measurements that would be cool. This is all beyond my capabilities,…

Objections

  • Vibration on a mountain bike would make SLAM hard

    From 2 comments
    • That sounds awesome. I do some mountain biking myself and have sometimes thought that it would be cool if you could replay your rides in 3D through a sparse SLAM point cloud. Of…

    • Hey everyone! Here is an app I've been working on over the past couple years for my own purposes. The original idea came from me wanting to collect RGB-D scans for research and…
