Abstract
Three-dimensional scanning is a task of great importance for our modern society and has brought significant advances in the precision of material inventory. These sensors map the material surface continuously, allowing real-time inventory monitoring. Most technologies are expensive because this process is complex, and even inexpensive ones are considerate smart investments for the average user. Therefore, this work presents the simulation of a low-cost time-of-flight based 3D scanning system that performs the volume estimation of an object-filled indoor space after a voxelization process. The system consists of a 2D LIDAR scanner that performs an azimuthal scan of 180\(^{\circ }\) through its rotating platform and a motor that rotates the platform in angle inclination.
