In July 2001, a team from the Media Center for Art History and Dr. Andrew Miller and Dr. Ioannis Stamos from the Columbia Robotics Lab went to Beauvais to acquire 3-D range scans and imagery of the Cathedral. The goal is to create an accurate 3-D model of the Cathedral to assist historic preservation efforts, including structural analysis of the Cathedral.
We returned to Beauvais in June 2002 to finish the modeling. Details to be posted soon. Scanning team.
