- Abstract
Documenting archaeological and heritage sites, structures and artefacts presents a complex spatial challenge, often combining fine detail features with large areas.
Sketching and photographs allow for the recording of fine levels of detail, but don't readily tie into a larger spatial framework. Conventional surveying through total stations and GPS allows us to easily establish a large spatial framework, but is very slow and inefficient at capturing the finer detail.
In the last two decades a new technology has appeared, allowing us to capture both fine details and the larger framework at the same time through use of a laser scanner.
