Precision is improving but can still be completely thrown off by certain light conditions in much the same way LiDar struggles with smooth surfaces.
### Lighting
Light conditions in the scene are crucial to the quality of the scan. A controlled environment is highly preferred. Precision is improving but can still be completely thrown off by certain light conditions in much the same way LiDar struggles with smooth surfaces.
### Precision Limitations
Increasingly industry pairs vision systems for photogrammetry with laser systems to balance the benefits of both.
<p>iPhone and Android apps for photogrammetry and now LiDAR scanning have multiplied over the last 2 years. The primary driver is product placement, however some open source options are making way for both art and art preservation</p>
