lidar-scanner

Scan, Process and visualize Lidar data from iOS device (IPhone, IPad)

Main Idea

Process Lidara point clouds from Iphone and then process it and finally visualize it!

This Project has following parts:

1. pointCloudScanner: iOS app that its core responsibility is to read cloud point data and send it to pointCloudPublisher project
2. pointCloudPublisher has the main responsibility of processing point clouds and emitting messages through rabbitMQ to pointCloudIngestor
3. pointCloudIngestor will take all point cloud data and just store it in batch into respective collection
4. then pointCloudReader project will connect to the same data collection and will serve read requests
5. pointCloudVisualizer is the front end that will visualize the live data comming from backend

Database

MongoDB has been choosen just for the sake of avalibility trade off + high read volumes, perferably a cache would be beneficial to speed up reads

Scalability

Perferabliy 3 instances of pointCloudPublisher and pointCloudIngestor would be a great start, just to avoid requests from ios app being drop and increase availability of publisher and ingestor service!
