3D Video Camera Realtime

This is a scene of staged combat maneuvers taken with a state-of-the-art 3D Flash LIDAR video camera. A single camera about 6" x 6" x 11" with a single lens is used. This is the raw point cloud data from the camera system without any post processing or noise filtering. The color coding is by range from the camera. The rotated views of the real-time point cloud data are artificially generated so you can see the 3D nature of the output.

This would be a better alternative to the problems CBS discusses with this expensive and as of yet fruitless project:

Camera is made by Advanced Scientific Concepts in Santa Barbara CA.

Video was taken by me at Penn State University in University Park PA.
