Dear Mine Enthusiasts, Explorers, Historians and Researchers,

I live in Pendeen, Cornwall and am looking for interesting underground areas to scan with my laser scanner (a Leica HDS3000).

The scanner is an old scanner but has a very good resolution (1mm). I also have a digital camera attachment to add full colour to the resulting 3D scan.

Examples of data I have collected from a single scan of a pump house are available here using an interactive viewer I have developed. The viewer only works on modern PC browsers and also iPhones. If the viewer does not work you can see a video of the data on the link below:

Online interactive viewer (once loaded left click on the pump house and move mouse to rotate, scroll button zooms in and out, right click pans the scene):

The data I will be collecting will be posted on line and will be freely available to anyone.

If you have or know of a site that may be of particular interest to you or the community please could you suggest it to me.

This is a hobby for me so my services are completely free. The scanner I use is a high end survey tool so the data can be used for any purpose including very precise engineering measurements.

Many thanks and look forward to discussing this further.

Best regards,

Gabriel

My fulltime job involves surveying shipwrecks. This is done in a similar way to laser scanning on the surface but uses acoustic scanners. I am currently developing a small acoustic scanner that could be used in mines and indeed would be the perfect place to trial it. If there are any particular sites that may benefit from an underwater survey/visualisation then please also contact me. All this is outside of my work so is non commercial.

You can see some examples of my work on shipwrecks on the following links. If the interactive viewer doesn't work for you then please use the video links.
