Registration of geometric information of monuments, statues,
archaeological remains, etc. makes a major contribution to the
preservation of heritage. 3D laser scanning is a very suitable
technique for documenting heritage due to the large range, high
accuracy and high level of detail at which data can be obtained in
a short period of time.
The scan data can be also used for stability studies,
visualizations, animations, production of plans, sections and 3D
models. They are a rich source of information for archaeological
research.
