As a large ordered database of spatial information , a 3-D model can be added to and altered over time, provide a more accurate representation of the real life of the monuments than a 2D drawing and can also be a powerful tool for complementary analyses. The resultant restitution as a 3-D digital photorealistic model is suitable for use as a working tool for restoration planning. Field of view ca. 10.000 3-D points. The system is portable and designed to work in difficult environments, making it particularly suitable for architectural applications.
Field of view ca.
10.000 3-D points. Given the sensors limited field of view, complex environments might require a large number of views. Model reconstruction is obtained by systematic application of this Cartesian coordinate system to every view taken. This process is known as registration and aligns the scans. The intensity values measured by the range sensor are used to constrain the matching of sensors between views.
