LCC Frequently Asked Questions

  1. What is LCC? How does it differ from other 3DGS products and solutions?
     LCC is XGRIDS' first commercial SLAM-based 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) solution, enabling rapid mobile scanning to create high-quality, interactive, and measurable 3D models for real-world industrial application.

  2. How is LCC different from free mobile 3D scanning apps?
    Mobile apps are suitable for simple object scanning and personal projects, while LCC efficiently handles larger-scale and complex environments (e.g., entire buildings and urban areas) with greater accuracy, precision, and professional-level quality suited for industrial scenarios.

  3. What advantages does LCC offer compared to traditional photogrammetry?
    LCC captures data faster, creates models with higher accuracy, and results in smaller, lighter files. It excels in modeling reflective surfaces, complex geometry, and challenging conditions—areas where traditional photogrammetry often struggles, resulting in holes or blurred parts.

  4. What hardware does LCC support? Do I need special cameras?
    LCC supports XGRIDS' proprietary Lixel scanners (e.g., K1, L2 Pro), which feature built-in LiDAR, IMU, and stereo cameras, providing a easy-to-start scanning solution without complex equipment or complicated setups.

  5. What is "Map Fusion"?
    "Map Fusion" is a unique LCC feature that automatically combines seperate mobile scans and even drone-captured aerial data with ground-based data, generating one seamless, high-precision 3DGS model of large or complex scenes.

  6. What data formats does LCC generate?
     LCC exports data to the widely compatible 3DGS format PLY and the proprietary LCC format. While PLY is compatible with most 3DGS viewers and editors in the market, the LCC format is smaller, lighter, renders more efficiently, and includes accurate geometric data.

  7. Can I import LCC data into Unreal, Unity, or Web platforms?
    Absolutely. LCC fully supports these platforms, providing comprehensive SDKs and sample projects for Unreal Engine, Unity, and WebGL, enabling developers to integrate quickly and build custom visualization solutions.

  8. Who or which industries are suitable for LCC?
     LCC is ideal for various sectors, including Architecture & Construction (AEC), BIM projects, film and media production, XR and virtual reality, cultural heritage preservation, industrial digital twins, and smart city applications.

  9. Do I need professional 3D modeling knowledge to use LCC?
     Not at all. LCC is an automated, one-stop solution that guides users effortlessly from scanning to generating high-quality models. No prior 3D modeling experience is required.

  10. What is the "HD Enhancement" feature introduced in this update?
    The HD Enhancement feature allows secondary data captured using additional devices like DSLR or smartphone cameras, significantly enhancing visual accuracy and realism for critical details in large-scale scenes.

  11. What practical issues does Aerial-Ground Map Fusion address?
    Aerial-Ground Map Fusion seamlessly integrates aerial data (e.g., drone scans) with ground-level scans, creating more comprehensive, accurate, and complete spatial coverage.

  12. Can I measure dimensions using LCC-generated models?
    Yes. LCC creates precise 3DGS models capable of accurate geometric measurements, including length, area, and height.

  13. Can I integrate LCC technology into my own platforms or applications?
    Definitely. Our developer platform provides complete SDKs and technical documentation, empowering customers and developers for deep integration and custom development with LCC technology.
