3D Scanning for Heritage Conservation

In today’s era, the relevance and need of conserving heritage and archaeology site is increasing tremendously. Specifically, the places which hold some artistic or heritage value needs extra care as well as highly accurate technology and comprehensive documentation on regular basis.

The 3D laser scanner technology has provided the advanced technology for surveying and documenting the heritage sites precisely without damaging its original structure or environment. The laser scanner like Faro provides immensely easy and useful way to accurately survey and document the spatial information of heritage sites and share it via different mediums like Internet. This data can be accessible to the wide range of audiences to study and other purposes. The 3D laser scanners can accurately create the same images as the site by using a digital camera and advanced laser scanners which create a point cloud of scanned heritage or excavation site and create an accurate 3D image. The point cloud can be documented as CAD models easily.
