HIGH TIME FOR NEW TECHNOLOGIES

Abstract

For several years now, the development of digital techniques of registering images and improving ways of measuring space is accompanied by attempts at implementing new documentation methods. Considerable accomplishments in this particular domain belong to the Workshop of Interdisciplinary Studies at the National Center for the Study and Documentation of Historical Monuments. The foundation of the investigations conducted by this institution, and the documentation gained during their course, is composed of interdisciplinary qualities, research precision, the application of the most recent techniques of non-invasive exploration as well as computer and geodetic techniques, together with benefiting from the measurement opportunities offered by the Cyrax 2005 laser scanner. All these undertakings are translated not only into complex research processes and reliable registration, but also lead to successes which include objective documentation, a rapid presentation of the outcome, and the latter’s utilisation for the purpose of popularisation
