3D recording, documentation and management of cultural heritage

Documentation of our cultural heritage is experiencing an explosion of innovation.

New tools have appeared in recent decades including laser scanning, rapid prototyping, high dynamic range spherical and infrared imagery, drone photography, augmented and virtual reality and computer rendering in multiple dimensions.

These give us visualisations and data that are at once interesting, intriguing and yet sometimes deceptive.

This book provides an objective and integrated approach to the subject, bringing together the techniques of conservation with management, photographic methods, various modelling techniques and the use of unmanned aerial systems.
