3D Scanning of the Naracoorte Caves
and are featured in the for their scans of the Naracoorte Cave called Shultz.
The cave was scanned in a matter of hours using a 3D Scanner (HDLEICA geosystems3D laser scanner) which useslasers to record one million points per second in in virtually 360 degrees. These points are then used to reconstruct a "mesh" fly through of the cave.
PhD Candidate Martin Ankor, from the Ӱֱ of Adelaide, is a 3D Scanning specialist who scanned the cave and put together the resulting reconstruction.
“It’s definitely going to be a case of watch this space over the next few years of this project, so this is just one aspect, but there’s other things that we plan on doing that will answer some really significant questions.
“We’re just at the beginning of a grand adventure I feel,” say co-lead Dr Liz Reed.
The scans will be useful for Linkage Partners such asWrattonbully Wine Region Association who use the site, for preserving the caves andhelpto uncover the extent of the cave system.
