3D Laser Scanning (Other Keyword)
1-5 (5 Records)
This project was undertaken to provide baseline terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) survey and spatial recordation for six historic launch complexes. Select structures were chosen for 3D laser scan survey, and these data were brought together with aerial Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS applications in a digital platform for landscape and structure consideration. The project was performed in combination with Global Positioning Systems (GPS), videography,...
Advanced Imaging of Saudi Arabian Petroglyphs: How Science Informs Art. (2017)
How petroglyph images are recorded in the field is instrumental for analysis, archiving and publishing data. Being prepared to implement multiple advanced imaging techniques provides numerous advantages. Because lighting conditions, preservation and manufacturing techniques vary from one petroglyph locality to the next, having the flexibility to apply different imaging options as appropriate greatly facilitates data retrieval. Many archaeological projects require that the bulk of the image...

Identification of Coarse Earthenware Potters on Production and Consumption Sites in Charlestown, Massachusetts Using Biometric Identification (2016)
Every so often, the fingerprints of potters are left in the wet clay of coarse earthenware vessels. Many of these evocative "signatures" have been observed on redware that was excavated from the 18th-century Parker-Harris Pottery Site and Three Cranes Tavern Site in Charlestown, Massachusetts. Using a short-range 3D laser scanner to capture this data, a small comparative data set was compiled to determine if these biometric identifiers (finger and hand prints) could be used to directly connect...
Ship Scanners II: This Time, It's Technical (2017)
In a world after the wrath of Superstorm Sandy, recovery efforts lead to an accidental run-in with a mysterious historic shipwreck. Now with a powerful gang of state and federal agencies breathing down their necks, can a rag tag team of maritime archaeologists, conservators, surveyors, and deep core drillers use 3D laser scanning, and computer modeling to make sense of this mess before the task order runs out ?!
