This article presents the results of a project to 3D laser scan and digitally model 14 watercraft from theQatarMuseums collection, comprising a range of regional vessels: most had not been surveyed previously. The project used the resulting point clouds generated 2D naval lines and orthographic records of the vessels in their current condition, and photorealistic 3D digital models for gallery display. This case study provides illustrative examples of the intermediate stages and final outputs. It assesses the pros and cons of 3D laser scanning as a survey technology for nautical scholars in terms of the time, cost, and skillset, as well as logistical considerations. It also compares the accuracy of traditional hand survey methods. © 2018 The Authors

从船坞到博物馆：卡塔尔多哈卡塔尔博物馆船只收藏的3D激光扫描和数字建模

本文介绍了3D激光扫描和数字化来自卡塔尔博物馆收藏的14艘船只的项目的结果，该船只包括一系列区域船只：大多数以前没有进行过调查。该项目使用生成的点云生成2D海军线和当前状态下的船只正字记录，并使用逼真的3D数字模型进行画廊展示。该案例研究提供了中间阶段和最终输出的说明性示例。它评估了3D激光扫描作为航海学者的一项调查技术的利弊，包括时间，成本和技能，以及后勤方面的考虑。它还比较了传统手工调查方法的准确性。©2018作者
