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.

I will be presenting at the RIVIC Symposium on the 28th November in Bangor, North Wales on our houses project - we've been busy processing the data from the house we scanned in Ovasta, Italy and hope to present some of the data from that work. Please download the event guide from here Hope to see you at the day.

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.

Big thanks to the team at the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales for a great 2 day Digital Past conference in Bodelwyddan, north Wales. Good to meet lots of people with a passion for Heritage and digital documentation. Off to the Copper day in Swansea next month - sounds interesting for anyone in to industrial archaeology and social history. Makes a change from modelling dive support vessels, trawlers and Dutch barges for 7 days a week straight! We've a 1 day mini conference on the Houses Project on April 5th, 2011 in Machynlleth for all interested parties. Final running list is still to be confirmed, but we definitely have a talk on the re construction of the Alhambra, Slate Miners housing in North Wales, Digital heritage and the People's collection, so there will be an interesting variety of professional development and local history interest. If you're interested, please email, more details to follow on the programme. Thank Deri

I've spent the last few days in Ankara, Turkey, discussing a new European Commission project entitled "About Houses". Over the next 2 years we will be recording vernacular architecture in 7 partner countries across Europe and building an online training resource. DJA's role is to provide the technical knowledge on the recording of the houses and benchmark the records against some laser scan surveys. We've only just begun to get the website and content of the project sorted, but if you have an interest in heritage, old buildings, social history or would like to learn more about old houses across Europe, then please get in touch. I'll be blogging more about this project later and we'll be highlighting it to the press in the near future.

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.

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.
The video is here...
