Claim 13:
14. A surface data acquisition, storage, and assessment system comprising:
one or more scanning components that operates to scan a surface of an object and obtains a first set of collected data, wherein said first set of collected data includes one or more measurements of one or more features;
a surface altering element that operates to alter or change the surface of the object wherein said one or more scanning components then operates to scan the surface of the object and obtains a second set of collected data, wherein said second set of collected data includes one or more measurements of said one or more features;
an analysis component that operates to compare said first set of collected data with said second set of collected data;
wherein said analysis component further operates to use said first set of collected data to form a three-dimensional first image of at least a portion of the surface and operates to use said second set of collected data to form a second three-dimensional image of the at least a portion of the surface and further operates to align said first three-dimensional image with said second three-dimensional image and wherein said analysis component further operates to produce a three-dimensional image showing differences between said first three-dimensional image and said second three-dimensional image.
