Here's the BBC News piece on the renovation work that will be hapening to HMS Victory. We carried out the 3D Laser scan survey an supplied accurate elevation drawings of the hull on behalf of BAE systems - further details of our work is here and below is the Youtube video we created from the scan data.

Back in September we spent some time working with our colleagues on the About Houses project in the Friulian region of Italy. Part of the conference was a vist to the De Corte house in Ovasta, a small hillside village in Ovasta. This house has been owned by the same family since the 16th Century and is a fascinating mix of heritage and modern day living. We spent a day surveying with the laser scanner and panoramic camera, recording as much of the house as possible and below is some of the video we have produced from the laser scan data.

Here's a short video on some survey work we did for the Royal Commission, recording and underground waterwheel in a lead mine in Mid Wales. Laser scanning is the idea way to record heritage areas like this as it is portable, doesn't require too much light and can provide both academic and general public visualisation of important items. 

Big thanks to Rhydian at ICY Ltd for help with setting up underground and carrying survey kit up the hillside, it may look quite clean and dry in the animation, but I'm still cleaning mud out of all the survey kit!

We've also been busy with engineering projects, from surveying curved roof structures for the new development at Kings Cross station, London, to working with long time partners Parkol Marine in Whitby on modifying fishing vessels for greater efficiency. We've got some interesting projects lined up for the Autumn and we're looking forward to the next meeting of the houses project and finding out what our Italian partners have been up to.

The team at Pointools have been spreading the word about the work we did on HMS Victory using their excellent software. See the American Surveyor website for an example.

We've had a busy few months on both the marine and survey side. Back in June I spent two days up in the North of Scotland surveying an excavated Broch at Applecross campsite on behalf of the Applecross Archaeological society. Working with Owen Kilbride and the team, we carried out a full set of colour scans and produced a series of high resolution plan view images and some animation of the site. Some of the results are here on Youtube.

Holly Lodge School, Smethwick, Birmingham, UK.

HollyLodge_03At short notice, we were asked to supply a basic model of an entire school campus to act as the starting point for some animation and visualisation images for a re-modelling exercise. Tasked with the project on Thursday afternoon, we completed the bulk of the 3D laser scanning over the weekend, to avoid interrupting classes and minimising health and safety issues. Some 38,000m2 of site was covered, using the longer range Trimble to pick off larger facades and working with the faster Faro scanner to pick up the more complex areas.

This was processed using Pointools / Rhino, creating accurate geometry and then applying orthographic texture maps in Maya. This model was supplied to the clients some 5 days after being given the project (no, we didn't sleep much!). We also supplied a full photographic survey used to map on to our orthographic roughs to add greater detail to the model for rendering.

The video we created from the pointcloud and the base model is here.. and the PDF is here..

This animation shows some of the data we collected on a local project. As it is off the beaten track and was accessible only by foot or tractor (see below!) it's a great place to try out new kit and minimise the amount of equipment needed to do a scan job.

3D Laser scanning videos and user stories.

We've been busy producing some animated flyby's using Pointools' excellent animation wizard to illustrate the kind of information we can record with our range of laser scanners. As we have been involved with everything from power stations, through fishing vessels to 16th century farm houses and Roman sarcophagii, we'll be putting up a series of short video's on our new YouTube channel. Hopefully it will give a flavour of what we can supply. For further details on each of the projects, see the corresponding user stories here...

The videos are available on YouTube at: http://www.youtube.com/derijonesassoc

The power station scanning project video is  here..., more to follow in a short while!
