An integrated 3D laser scanning technique for the digitization of historic buildings

Historical architecture, ancestors´ important cultural assets, transmits conventional environment and skill experience in the society and cultural rogress. However, due to the long process of confirming, the limitation of budget and timing, the preservation of historical architecture are not efficiently executed preservation. Moreover, natural disaster, such as earthquake, fire and collapse, caused history architecture disappeared at one moment. 3D laser scanning technology is a new trend in the 21st century. With the development of 3D laser scanner, the data of 3-dimensional coordination could be conserved as historical architecture in a digital aspect for more complete preservation.
