Point Cloud & Cube Maps
High-Density Point Clouds
These are collections of data points in space generated by 3D scanners. High-density point clouds are essential for capturing the intricate details of historic structures with high accuracy. They serve as the foundation for creating detailed 3D models of the buildings, which are invaluable for analysis, documentation, and visualization purposes.
​
Cubemaps
These are used in creating panoramic views and are particularly useful for visualizing interior spaces in 3D. In historic preservation, cubemaps can help stakeholders and the public appreciate the spatial relationships and architectural details within a historic building, facilitating a better understanding of its significance and the preservation needs.
​
Summary
Overall, these tools are important for ensuring that the preservation efforts are based on accurate, detailed, and comprehensive information, which is critical for maintaining the integrity and authenticity of historic structures.
