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.
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>
