Romans seek assistance in recording Empire
A Roman legionnaire takes great interest in the use of digital photogrammetry as an aid to heritage documentation, ably guided by GXP customer Mick Clowes.
English Heritage held its annual Festival of History show at Kelmarsh Hall, Northamptonshire, England in August 2006. The show is the premier historical event in the UK. Festival attendees experienced over 2,000 years of history including knights jousting, Vikings rampaging, re-enactments from various periods and a First World War aerial dogfight. Teams from English Heritage demonstrated their work in support of the organization’s needs. The Metric Survey Team from the Research Department uses SOCET SET to carry out surveys of historic properties and ancient monuments through close-range and aerial techniques. A stereo projector system adjacent to the laptop is used to project the left and right-hand images onto a high reflectance screen, enabling a large audience to enjoy stereoscopic viewing through simple spectacles.
