iPhone 15 Pro vs iPhone 14 Pro LiDAR and Camera Accuracy Assessment

[@traincation5715]

There was a lot of discussion on Reddit claiming that the 15 Pro uses fewer LiDAR dots and gives generally worse scans. Is that just flat out false then?

[@ram4546]

Amazing scientific job

[@DavidJJJ]

You did it! Thanks so much for putting all this work in, it's great to see the raw data on the different between these two phones.

[@mz8755]

this is exactly the type of answer i was looking for, and this guy knows what he is doing - big kudos

[@ivancuetowicq]

cool, can you please scan a complex or not that complex scene and compare both but from a mesh point of view in a 3d package in order to see mesh quality?blender is free and you can import obj or fbx files. Thanks in advance.

[@VertexPavilions]

We use tge iphone 15 to scan building details when doing fieldwork for scan to bim projects. It is ideal for scanning facade ornaments. It can be real useful for smaller scans, although it has it’s limitations in speed and precision, so for areas larger than a few m2 we wouldn’t recommend it.

[@stevelong1255]

You're doing the testing right by the book Rami, thanks so much for the time to do this

[@thomasonthetrail]

Very interesting video. Must have taken a lot of time to put together. Appreciate it! You were talking about a denser point cloud on the 15Pro. Any chance to see a comparison in quality of the mesh between the two phones when scanning a complex subject (statue or detailed facade)? Thanks!

[@boskobuha8523]

Could you perform such a test in the forest, what are the deviations compared to the total station?

[@TheJoaolyraaraujo]

You use a camera with night vision (no ir filter) and project the lidar dots on a wall to se if there are any differences.

[@MarkTheRealtor]

Great work Rami. Very interesting for sure.

[@jarlaxel]

Is it possible to generate a full "dollhouse" style model of a house interior with iPhone lidar?

[@Lidarx3]

Great video Rami, the relative error of the iPhone 15 pro was surprisingly good . There are so many user case for the use of these phones compared to tradition and much more expensive equipment to get great results.

[@nhibbs3]

Excellent video! Very clear and solid methodology

[@jonathanrose456]

Once again, an amazing review. Thanks for your hard work

[@clydedigital]

What app did you build the model in and can you share them or embed online if you have a website?

[@Fudgemanns]

Does this mean that if you use GCP while scanning with the iphone 15 pro you can achieve admirable results since its relative error is actually smaller?

[@sid4276]

Thanks great job!

[@eythnc.9343]

Hey any chance you could compare the lidar point clouds of the 2? just of a flat surface at a specific range. Curious to see the difference between the point clouds created by only the lidar sensor

[@drdigsaus]

Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM)

[@boskobuha8523]

If I want to record with an iPhone a terrain 1000m long and 20m wide, is it better to do it with one file or several files and then connect them into one? Is the iphone usable for this type of work and how accurate is the lidar if I'm filming in the field under the forest?

[@JacquesTreehorn]

Have you figured out how to do a sand cone ASTM D1556/D1556M with it yet? It should be able to get the volume of the hole. All you would have to do is cook, weigh it, and do the math with the maximum dry density for the sample. It is still not as fast as a Troxler for density, but I am running into situations where I can't get a nuclear gage on the site. I am sure if you cranked out a video on it and published it with the right key words you would get a lot of hits from Geotechnical Civil PEs. Civil is not all design. Most of it is testing of materials. Not glamorous, but necessary for the states to sign of on R/W dedications. You do incredible work. Impressive!

[@landroverday]

Any Android LIDAR devices available?

[@gigx2865]

Sony xpeira 1 V

[@soarersan1]

Do you attribute the smaller relative error in the 15Pro to a better GPS receiver / software on the 15 Pro . I know that the 14 Pro had a big improvement over the 13 Pro , in that department .

[@matteosimoncelli6319]

Buongiorno,, volevo chiederti se ci sono smartphone android con lidar.. grazie.

[@Surveyor_Culton]

Hi. Im a mine surveyor.. just want to know is it ok in-terms of accuracy to replace a scanner with an iPhone for under ground or tunnel surveys

[@evermore1919]

can you share a link to your spreadsheet? I want to check the vertical elevations against each other? (are they in cm?)

[@themyyotubeusername]

I know most gps receivers are really bad in elevation. I think a better rms comparison 9n only lat and long would be a better metric. Adding in the elevation error swamps the data and obscures the comparison data.

[@Fabio-hv8jz]

Which is the best app to use in AutoCAD software exporting the point cloud in . RCS? Thank you!

[@fabianstevenne]

Hu, Rami! Is the 15 pro more accurated for indoor survey ? I mean, is the gps helps to have a better relative accuracy?

[@skewedUS]

Hey guys! I'd like to ask you about the size of each 3d scan file?, it's my first time as an iPhone user and I'm a bit concerned about it, do I need an insane amount of storage for it or can I use it with like 256/512gb models?

[@kamil9246]

I've been waiting for your video to make decision about iPhone 15 pro, so now I will buy it :D

[@johnnydebrain]

Same XD

[@manerisports7937]

but i did not understand is not now better than 14 pro lidar or not

[@DaveDFX]

interesting. Thinking of upgrading my 14 pro max to 15 pro max but have to wait to see if it's worth it.

[@why198546]

Great job. I think i should buy an iPhone 15 pro to survey small scenes.😄

[@alfredoyanez7469]

Is the lidar range the same in both?

[@antdx316]

Negligible amount of difference.

[@romanvolken4319]

Is the Lidar sensor of the Iphone 15 Pro the same as the one from the Ipad Pro 12.9 6th Generation ? does someone know?

[@josephshawa]

You seem very good at calculations. Can you compare the average longevity compared to metabolic health? Don't want to lose good minds :)

[@RamiTamimi]

Definitely something I need to prioritize more. I appreciate your concern.

[@josephshawa]

@@RamiTamimi Just think blood sugar and insulin response.
