This paper was presented at the Remote Sensing and Photogrammetry Conference, November 2004. It discusses 3D laser scanning with respect to acquiring high-quality 3D datasets in difficult environmental conditions typically relating to archaeology and sculptural recording in the field.

The presentation contains many case studies generated from work undertaken over the years by Archaeoptics including Wemyss Caves, St. Paul’s Cathedral, Hermes of Praxiteles and Grimes Graves.
