Not that I know of. I’ve been using photogrammetry with drones which works really well. as such never really bothered with lidar…..

I’ve walked past this hundreds of times and only just gotten around to doing a #3d #photogrammetry capture of it.
This is a milestone across the road from the #Glasgow Climbing Centre easily readable with a rendering!

So, I think this is, or is part of, the Tullibole hogback….? @govanstones.bsky.social ?

The Dalserf #hogback with its fine tegulation! More restrained than its cousins at @govanstones.bsky.social but still splendid #viking #earlymediaeval #3d #photogrammetry

Warren Moor mine #3d reconstruction from a drone flight. A really interesting site and a lovely walk

A splendid little wyvern sculpture across the road from @govanstones.bsky.social. There are five other wyverns inside the church as well!

A first look at the raw #3d #photogrammetry model of Govan Old, home of the @govanstones.bsky.social. Acquired last weekend by a 15-minute drone fly-round. There’s a few missing bits but not too bad as a capture of a fairly complex building! @hornesupremacy.bsky.social

When interests collide….. 3D #photogrammetry models of the bowls of my two lutes as a starting point of whether these could be 3D printed and used as forms to make highly-accurate reproductions of mediaeval instruments

The largest #3d printed replica I’ve made to date. This was done in 2023 and is a 2.1m tall 70% scale replica of a column plus vaulting from Balmerino Abbey. The model was generated from #3d #photogrammetry. The replica is sectional and can be broken down for easy transportation!

First attempt at “new to me” drone #photogrammetry of Whorlton Castle in Yorkshire. Quite pleased with the result although several lessons learned for next time! #3d #castle #drone

For #StandingStoneSunday, here's the Logie Elphinstone 2 #Pictish symbol stone. A very odd shape, with two sets of super-imposed symbols and a circular #ogham. What's not to like?! #earlymediaeval #3d #photogrammetry

The “gingerbread man” #hogback stone from St Oswald’s Church, Lythe. Reminds me of the figure style at Heysham. #viking #earlymediaeval #3d #photogrammetry @govanstones.bsky.social

The Arthurlie Cross located in Barrhead, a cross shaft of the @govanstones.bsky.social school. The reverse face of the stone is clearly worn from when the shaft was used as a footbridge across a burn! #earlymediaval #3d #photogrammetry

An unusual one from the archive today. This is the 30' Hythe "Sound Mirror" located on the cliff above the town. It's a pre-#ww2 acoustic mirror, a type of experimental early #radar. The mirror's condition has sadly deteriorated considerably since our #3d #laserscan of 2005
