Laser scanning in archaeology and cultural heritage documentation
Hina Pande,Poonam Seth Tiwari And Shefali Agarwal
The remote sensors play a significant role in field archaeology as they offer non-invasive means for collecting data related to the physical and chemical properties of objects from space based, aerial and terrestrial platforms. It is seen that terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) along with close range photogrammetry has immense potential in documentation of heritage monuments..... [more]

New insights into large tropical tree mass and structure from direct harvest and Terrestrial Lidar
Andrew Burt, Matheus Boni Vicari, Antonio C. L. da Costa, Ingrid Coughlin, Patrick Meir, Lucy Rowland And Mathias Disney
This study presented, to our knowledge, the first validation of such estimates from tropical forests using reference data that were derived entirely from direct measurement. We found these estimates were accurate, and a 15-fold improvement over counterparts derived from classical allometry... [more]
