Abstract
The arrival on the market of solid-state LiDAR sensors is generating a series of low-cost devices very attractive to end users. However, the characteristics of low-cost devices do not allow the same use and applications as conventional LiDAR systems. The aim of this work is to compare three LiDAR systems in a typical heritage application: stone individualisation in masonry walls. The system used is one terrestrial laser scanner, Faro X330, and two handheld mobile laser scanners, Zeb-Go and iPad Pro. The case study is an original seventeenth-century gate whose two façades show regular and irregular masonry pattern. Through an analysis of the acquisition process, registration, point density, curvature calculation (for joint detection) and stone individualisation, advantages and disadvantages of each device are discussed. The point cloud acquired with a single scan of Faro X330 was the only one that showed a satisfactory result for stone individualisation, while Zeb-Go and iPad Pro acquisitions were shown to be a fast solution to quickly acquire complete models with a lower level of detail. In the case of the iPad Pro, it is also a low-cost and accessible solution.
