PiLiDAR is a DIY 360° 3D panorama scanner built on Raspberry Pi that combines a low-cost LDRobot LiDAR (LD06/LD19/STL27L) with a Pi HQ camera to produce colored 3D point clouds. It stitches fisheye panoramas with Hugin, assembles 3D scenes from 2D LiDAR scans, and exports to PCD, PLY, or e57 formats.

Use cases

  • build a DIY 3D lidar scanner with raspberry pi
  • capture colored 3d point clouds of rooms
  • stitch 360 panorama from fisheye photos
  • export lidar scans to PLY or e57
  • visualize 2d lidar data live
  • register and align multiple 3d scans with ICP

When to choose

  • you want a low-cost (~$200-280) DIY 3D scanning rig
  • you use Raspberry Pi with LDRobot LD06/LD19/STL27L sensors
  • you need vertex-colored point clouds from panorama stitching

When to avoid

  • you need production-grade surveying accuracy
  • you want plug-and-play commercial scanner software
  • you need fast Poisson meshing on-device (recommended on PC)
