Okay, but depth cameras exist, full stop, and they obviate the need for an entire GPU worth of processing. It's why Uber and Waymo are sinking billions into cheap, solid-state LIDAR. Actual measured sensor data is just so much better.
- highd 9y agoYou'd prefer a $10,000 lidar over a $8 mobile GPU?
- genericpseudo 9y agoThe challenge with LIDAR (for the foreseeable future) is ubiquity. If you're building a car, then sure, LIDAR, no questions asked. If you're trying to pair this with say a structure-from-motion pipeline for photogrammetry targeting mobile phones as capture devices then this becomes very very important. The best data for many applications is often the data you can get at scale.
