摘要：New technologies often turn heads the first time they appear. Laser scanning is one such new technique, which has impressed many users by the ability of point clouds to provide an understanding of complex subjects. Laser scanning holds obvious benefits to architectural recording, however such technology should not be used with blind faith as a solution to all problems. As with all new technological developments, the dissemination of information is a vital part of laser scanning's acceptance into everyday practice. This paper outlines the considerations involved in the application of laser scanning to architectural projects. By examining different scanning systems, issues such as resolution, reflectance and data presentation are discussed. It also emphasizes the now familiar call towards the seamless integration of laser scanning with other methodologies. The development of an integrated system, based on the 21 st century technology of laser scanning and the 19 th century science of photogrammetry, is seen as a valuable step in the acceptance of laser scanning as a methodology to record and model millennium old infrastructure
