New way to analyse site?
Industrial Research Ltd in New Zealand have developed a scanner that can scan a site and build a 3d model to millimetre accuracy. Aimed at forensic investigators and scientists the scanner is based on digital camera's, pulse lasers and a GPS like device that draws its position from the laser pulses. About 20 tripods equipped with the laser pulses are needed, but the more the merrier.
