Heritage and Archaeological Applications

Laser scanning is being used widely for the capture of heritage and archaeological information for archiving and presentation purposes, and for surveys of facades or interiors. Our laser scanners have a wide field of view, with high accuracy and the ability to combine high resolution digital colour photography with the scan data, making them ideal for this application.

Overview

Transferring laser data from point clouds to CAD strings, virtual models or rectified ortho photographs has, until recently, been a challenge. Through improvements in software solutions such as PolyWorks, we can now offer some of the most advanced tools for creating and delivering virtual models for heritage and archaeological applications.

Suggested Scanners

The Riegl LMS-Z420i, Z390, Z210i and Z210ii are typically used for heritage and archaeological applications.

Typical Projects

Typical projects include the provision of data for visualisation, the development of a digital archive of artifacts, buildings and building elements, and providing valuable information on the context of artifacts, buildings and elements within the heritage and archaeological environments.
