Laser Scanning at Monte Alban with CyArk

Recently I took a few days off to join my good friends at CyArk to participate in conducting a laser scan of the Monte Alban site in Oaxaca (Mexico). As any reader of this blog knows I am fascinated by laser scanning and will seize all opportunities to promote this exciting and inevitable technology.
The process of working with laser scan data (aka point clouds) in a CAD environment continues to improve on a regular basis. Indeed Autodesk recently announced the acquisition of Ambercore Software. Needless to say I am really excited about this!
The Monte Alban site, the weather, and the other attendees were just great. To be in the field with my old friend Ben Kacyra, widely regarded as the father of laser scanning, and with my new friend Hans Hess, former CEO of Leica GeoSystems, was a real treat.
I know, I know - It's true. I spent my last vacation laser scanning on Easter Island! What can I say? It's addictive!
