Just a quick video (best watched in 480p) from some laser scanning with the ScanStation C10. The area covered is about 100m square
Scanned (2.5 hours on site, including walking up a HUGE hill) 15 setups at medium resolution (10mm @ 10m - no images), registered using a combo of cloud-to-cloud and two targets in the centre of the monument). Lowest Points analysis using Topo II on a 25cm grid, meshed & smoothed in 3D Reshaper, rendered in VUE - which applies the textures based on slope angle, height etc... 1 days work from start to finish. It took a guy with a GPS staff 4 days and the data wasn't up to much. Plus he had to physically walk the hill-fort... ahhhh, the joys of laser scanning!

Re: Buckton Castle Laser Scanning
Great job Paul. Was the foilage/grass short then, is that why a scanner was used? Also did you render the movie in Pointools?

Re: Buckton Castle Laser Scanning
This was rendered in VUE itself (a plug-in for Max and Maya). We did do a Pointools example, this was a filtered version of the raw data using the uniform tool.
The scanner was used as the foliage was quite deep - hence why the lowest point analysis in Cyclone II Topo was used for surface generation. I reckon we were working to a 'surface' accuracy (not scanner accuracy) of a few cm.
