Digital Model for Cultural Heritage Conservation Status Evaluation

Three dimensional recordings gained more and more applicability in the study of Cultural Heritage. Firstly, 3D laser scanning proved to be an efficient tool for shape recording of artworks. Fast recordings are one of the advantages offered by this technique, resulting in a digital model with high resolution and accuracy. In this paper several examples of laser scanning application addressed to conservation strategy are presented, with selected case studies, representative for each application. All examples proved that these techniques offer a good methodology, efficient application, cost effectiveness, even a unique solution.
