Nestled in the heart of the University of Birmingham is VISTA (the Visual and Spatial Technology Centre), part of the IAA (Institute of Archaeology and Antiquity). With 40 core staff and 8 employed full time within VISTA itself, this archaeological group is committed to the capture, analysis and preservation of 3D data through the creation of digital environments, with data capture projects ranging from object to landscape modeling. mere

The cover article for the March issue of the Professional Surveyor Magazine, "Laser Scanning for Cultural Heritage Applications," was written by John Ristevski and covers two case studies that show how 3D laser scanning is helping to preserve cultural heritage sites. The article also profiles a non-profit organization know as CyArk, which is taking advantage of the new technology to put together an archive and corresponding website of digital records of such historic sites. mere

State-of-the-art Cyra laser-scanning technology was adapted to quite an extraordinary task recently when it was used to document the detailed surface geometry of New York’s most famous landmark – the Statue of Liberty. Traditionally used in the industrial plant and civil infrastructure fields, laser scanning’s ability to capture highly detailed, 3D surface geometry of large structures made it a good match
for the complex geometry of the Statue of Liberty. mere
