Multiple Reflection Techniques Used to Measure and Model a British Cannon Recovered from the Battle of Yorktown

Volume 1, Issue 2

Richard A. Uhal, Steven D. Hand, Colleen Brady Cunniffe, Marcie Renner

The utilization of a noncontact laser radar, multiple-reflection measurement technique was employed to generate an accurate 3D model of an historic artifact, both on exterior and interior surfaces. The artifact scanned was a “four-pounder” British...
