Article of my interest

Today I am going to show to you an article of interest of the area that I want to work in the future.

In first place, the aspect of my career that is interesting for me is cultural heritage documentation. This semester I am taking Lina Nagel's course about patrimonial documentation. It is not fun for all people, because you have to do the same thing many times, but I think it is completely necessary to have a database of pieces of arts; in the future museum's people would need this archives to find a, for example, stolen piece of art.

Particulary, the article that I chose, is about a 3D scanner (Terrestrial Laser Scanning) which can quicly scanlate patrimonium of a country, has high definition resolution quality, and can get a lot of object's information in a short period of time. The scanner was used by galicians to put many patrimonuim objects in 3D during 2009. This project involved people from galician Superior Council of Scientific Investigation (in spanish Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas or CSIC).

You can read the article here.

The project was interesting because you can obtain 3D models of patrimonial objects in a short time, for a country is very useful. I do not know if in Chile exist something like this, but they should have one.

See you next week.
