Historical sites bring a wealth of value and challenges to those who are responsible for them. How best to share them with the public? How best to protect them against damage and the ravages of time? How to describe them and share data for research, for repairs or for restoration?
Canyon Logics uses 3D laser scanning technology to create virtual reality point cloud data sets of these valuable assets, no matter what their size. The point cloud provides not only the starting point for building an asset database in a CAD or BIM environment, permits the asset owner and their specialists to capture detailed measurements, to link searchable documents to specific points, and to record changes and restorations over time.
The City of Kingston Council Chamber is an example of a physical asset with a long and varied history. Future generations will be able to see the current chamber in full 3D detail, thanks to the scanning done by Canyon Logics; future engineers, architects, renovators and technicians will have access to complete and accurate measurements of the whole room.
