Low‐cost smartphone LiDAR for 3D cave mapping: comparing mobile and terrestrial laser scanning methods

open access: yesGeology Today, Volume 42, Issue 3, Page 147-153, May/June 2026.
This article demonstrates how a built‐in mobile‐device LiDAR sensor can be used to produce practical and reliable 3D cave models. Using Agios Georgios Cave in Kilkis, Greece, as a real field example, an iPhone 13 Pro Max equipped with the Polycam app was used to document cave passages, chambers and the vertical connection between levels.
