Abstract
A system for creating a near-spherical point cloud of RGBD data includes one or more sensing units for providing depth data, each sensing unit having a stereo pair of sensors fitted with the wide-angle lens from which a one-dimensional line of pixels is read, and one or more lasers for illuminating the single line of pixels, the sensing units mounted on a spinning platform. The spinning platform is mounted on the base having a plurality of cameras mounted therein for providing 360-degree RGB data.
