Great Pyramid laser scan

Post by Martin_au »

Hi Guys.

Does anyone have access to scan data for the Great Pyramid. I'm having a discussion with someone about the topic and would love to have a look at what's really there.

I know Riegl and a university did a very serious bunch of scanning there a while back. Just wondering if anyone else has done anything that they'd be happy to share?

I have visited the Pyramids a couple of times and know the site very well. I dont know about current scan data but I would love a chance to scan that area. :( maybe one day I will get the chance.

Hi guys,
I think that this was done multipel times already, sorrry you! But we could think of a monitoring program! :)

Done in 2004

Hi,

Unfortunately the Riegl dataset from 2004 is not available for distribution.
