5. CONCLUSION 
6. REFERENCES 
The method has several advantages over the traditional 
ones: more accurate estimation, length and shape 
measurements, large display possibilities and ease for 
cross-links other data, combined with long term and 
multimedia documentation. 
This project has seen the very successful combination 
of electronics, geomatics technologies to acquire raw 
data and the application of historical research along 
with computer visualisations. Moreover, in most of the 
cases, data quality is largely higher and it also provide 
an archive of high quality while allowing three 
dimensions objects diffusion on Internet. 
However, this is to mention too, these optical and laser 
techniques present a certain number of limits 
dependent on the nature of surfaces, objects 
accessibility, scanner stability, ambiance lighting, and 
especially, with the use in traditional CAD programs of 
scatter plots made of several million points.
