Online article in 3D Visualization World Magazine: UNESCO World Heritage Site Lorsch Abbey

The online magazine 3D Visualization World (www.3dvisworld.com) features an article about the 3D capturing campaigns at Lorsch Abbey:

The UNESCO World Heritage Site of Lorsch Abbey is located in Hesse roughly between Heidelberg and Frankfurt/Main, Germany. Laser scanners generating 3D point clouds of the structure and photogrammetric Structure-from-Motion (SfM) approaches were used to study and create 3D models. Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAVs) were also employed to support restoration work.
