3D scanning in the interests of heritage resources

Popular access to 3-dimensional viewing tools places increasing demands upon public authorities, architects and museums.

In consequence, Géoportail, Google Earth, Virtual Earth and other web-based 3D applications add a new and realistic virtual dimension to the heritage of France.

Urbica can deliver a 3D model of any type of structure (bridge, water tower, road or tunnel) or building (religious, cultural or sporting) which is accurate to the nearest centimetre and provides a photographic level of realism.

Lasergrammetry can also be used for the production of conventional façade plans, plan views, sections, points of disjunction, elevations and profiles from any digitized point of the structure concerned.
