Like with the stone pillar above, there is a slight difference in the object previews, while meshes, in reality, have a big difference. Sometimes it is difficult to see the significant difference between LiDAR and Photo Mode results. Stone Pillar – LiDAR vs Photo Mode – Mesh Difference Also, LiDAR is handy when there is a low-lighting situation or the object has a small number of features, walls for example. Only if we want to 3D scan large objects (houses, rooms) or the scenery, we would need to take multiple photo sets and stitch the objects together manually, when LiDAR may provide us with a lower quality result, but in a matter of seconds. If to compare the end quality, Photo Mode provides better results, I would say, for everything.
As the LiDAR’s result comes very quickly, it is easy to get the feel of where to pay attention when taking the photos in the Photo Mode. The capture in LiDAR plays as a sort of a warm-up. Which Mode to Use: LiDAR or Photo? – Bothįirst of all, if an object or scenery is important for you, I would recommend capturing it using the LiDAR mode to start with.

While Android users are waiting for Polycam Android version, they can try a handy Polycam for Web feature. Update: Polycam announced the Android version. We have plans to create an Android version by the end of the year. It could definitely be used with an Android device since the mobile device is just uploading to a computer that does the actual reconstruction. Photo Mode is powered by Apple’s Object Capture. According to Polycam, an Android version of the application with the Photo Mode feature is expected to be released by the end of this year. Photo Mode should be working on all iOS devices.

Once in the cloud, Apple’s Object Capture 3D reconstruction software does the job and 3D models become available to download after a short duration.
Polycam is one of the first mobile apps that enabled uploading photo sets to the powerful PC/Server in the cloud. Then processing photo sets in photogrammetry software is usually done on a relatively powerful PC or in the cloud via PC (f/e Autodesk ReCap software). If LiDAR technology on iPhones became a significant time-saver for processing certain scans (sceneries, murals, streets). LiDAR and Photo modes give the ability to capture 3D objects or the scenery using smartphones in two ways.
