We have been trialing the use of the Leica Scan Station C10 for archaeological documentation and the results so far appear very impressive.

GigaPan work at Bodiam Castle

I have spent three years working at this wonderful site and I have never taken a single photograph of the castle. Continue reading →

In total we recorded 56 RTIs over the space of the week and we had time to also record a few Medieval seals for Adrian Ailes. Continue reading →
