Charles Darwin - Laser Scan to Mesh 3D Model

Charles Darwin Statue, Shrewsbury - 3D Laser Scan
Charles Darwin Meshed 3D Model from Scan Cloud

If someone was asked to name two things that came from Shrewsbury, they would most likely answer the Severn Partnership and Charles Darwin.  Severn recently decided to bring these two together and use their Laser Scanning expertise to laser scan the Charles Darwin statue outside the Shrewsbury Library.

The scanning was completed over one morning and registered together by the same afternoon.  This laser scan was then meshed using MeshLab, an open-source meshing software. This mesh was then refined and visualised using Autodesk 3DS Max to create a photo-realistic rendering.

Severn hopes to expand their strong links with Shrewsbury and scan more of the famously historical buildings and features of the town.
