Thanks to our friend Brittany K. L. Mabry for putting together a great article on the International Year of Light for LiDAR News. Expect to hear lots of information regarding the use of LiDAR and other light-based technology over the next year. Here is a link to the article:http://www.lidarnews.com/content/view/11124/136/
Using Terrestrial LiDAR for Cultural Heritage Documentation
In July VerticalGeo hosted the ASPRS Heartland Region's monthly Technical Presentation. Brittany Mabry, a graduate student from the University of Arkansas' Center for Advanced Spatial Technologies (CAST), presented on "Using Terrestrial LiDAR for Cultural Heritage Documentation." It was a fascinating presentation that highlighted how Brittany, and the CAST team has used, and taught others to use, Terrestrial LiDAR to digitally capture 3-D imagery of cultural heritage resources around the globe. This is wonderful technology that will allow us to capture and preserve in 3-D those historic places that define our world. Here is Brittany's presentation:
