The Visual Information Technology Group of the National Research Council of Canada has designed and tested several 3D digital laser imaging systems as well as processing algorithms dedicated to the high-resolution modeling of complex objects and environments. While target applications also included manufacturing, space-robotics and anthropometry, it became evident from the outset that the area of heritage conservation and documentation would provide one of the major thrusts for the research effort in 3D imaging and modeling. Application to heritage documentation presents many challenges and high requirements, in terms of the quality of the data as well as innovative processing and visualization techniques. This talk will cover a number of issues in 3D sensing and modeling, illustrated with some of the demonstration projects that were undertaken to validate and refine the technology.
