darkceon Show HN: I Turned My iPhone into a Night-Vision Device

In fact, I also built an app specifically for blind and low-vision users. It was inspired by my Night Vision app, and it’s called Obstacle Detector: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6461118479

darkceon Night Vision App – Give Your iPhone Night Vision Capability

Hi everyone,

Night Vision App utilizes your device's LiDAR camera to explore the magic of the night. Offering a deep visual experience, it allows you to capture stunning images and videos, opening up new ways to perceive the world!

You can search for "Night Vision" on the App Store to download it, or click the link to download: https://apps.apple.com/app/id1668629667

Principle:

In well-lit environments, the device uses the rear standard camera in conjunction with the LiDAR Scanner or TrueDepth Camera for imaging to ensure optimal image quality. However, in completely dark environments, imaging is solely handled by the rear LiDAR scanner or infrared camera.

Supported devices:

All Apple devices with LiDAR scanning capabilities or the Face ID feature are supported.

darkceon Night Vision – Imaging with iPhone's Lidar Scanner and TrueDepth Camera

Night Vision is a complimentary app designed to scan and gauge distances even in pitch-dark environments. Leveraging the power of the LiDAR scanner and TrueDepth Camera incorporated in iPhones and iPads, it delivers precise imaging capabilities.

The new version fully leverages the night vision capabilities of Apple's sensors, applicable to all Apple devices that support Face ID.

darkceon pcl.js – Porting the large C++ library PCL to the browser via WebAssembly

pcl.js is a Point Cloud Library (PCL) that runs in the browser, powered by Emscripten and WebAssembly

The Point Cloud Library (PCL) is a large scale, open project for 2D/3D image and point cloud processing. The PCL framework contains numerous state-of-the art algorithms including filtering, feature estimation, surface reconstruction, registration, model fitting and segmentation. PCL has its own data format for storing point clouds - PCD (Point Cloud Data), but also allows datasets to be loaded and saved in many other formats.

A point cloud is a set of data points in space. The points may represent a 3D shape or object. Each point position has its set of Cartesian coordinates (X, Y, Z). Point clouds are generally produced by Lidar(light detection and ranging) or by photogrammetry software, which measure many points on the external surfaces of objects around them.
