- flir 1y agoThanks! I thought the 3D models in Google Maps were just Extremely Clever Math. Lidar and Extremely Clever Math makes more sense.
- tavavex 1y agoIt's actually photogrammetry, not LiDAR (or at least, the LiDAR scans aren't done by Street View cars), which is why it's limited only to certain pre-scanned cities instead of everywhere with modern Street View.
