About the research
How can high-definition digital documentation preserve and reveal architectural form and construction details at complex heritage sites?
Read the full research overview
The DHARMA lab uses high-definition surveying lasers and GigaPan photography to create precise 3-D documentation of monuments and urban settings. Researchers combine laser scans with hand measurements and photogrammetry to produce blueprints and detect subtle structural deterioration for conservation and repair. The team compared laser-derived measurements with historical reconstructions to reassess original temple column spacing, using frieze text spacing and foundational alignment as corroborating evidence. Students and faculty develop deliverables—exhibits, apps, books, and 3-D portals—based on rigorous optical surveying and analysis.
