From July 23, 2007 to August 2, 2007 Dr. Willis visited Herzilya, Israel on a data measurement campaign. The focus of the trip was the front gate and drawbridge to the Crusader fortress at Apollonia-Arsuf. Data collected included conventional digital imagery and a newly developed laser range scanner. Scan images will be made available throught the ShaRP 3D servlet link on the website.

The project is a collaboration between the UNC Charlotte Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Brown University, and Tel-Aviv University. Investigators on this project are examining how new measurement technologies can contribute to solving difficult problems in Anthropology and Archaeology.

Experimental Low-Cost LIDAR Scanner Implementation Complete 

The UNCC Machine Vision lab has acquired an AR4000 range sensor from Acuity Laser Measurement the system is capable of capturing 3D surface range data up to 40 feet from the sensor.

We have recently develop a linux driver for this sensor. The source for this driver is available through subversion at the subversion repository here under the link "laser-driver." The linux driver is currently compatible with linux kernel versions 2.6.16-2.8.18.
