The triTOS digitising system has been specially tailored for applications in arts, cultural heritage and archaeology. Being based on the technology of our HighEnd digitising systems, it offers advanced features such as:

• Fast data capture within 1 sec
• High resolution colr camera (1384 x 1036 pixels)
• Excellent precision and accuracy

Measurement Areas

• We offer a broad spectrum of standard measurement areas ranging from 90 mm to 600 mm in the diagonal, as well as customized sensor configurations.
• The system is available as mono and stereo system.

Simple and Flexible Operation

• Measurement areas can be conveniently adjusted by exchanging the lenses.
• Calibration of the system can be performed by the user on the spot and within a few minutes; as a consequence, highest precision will be guaranteed at any time.
• The system can be powered alternatively by a 12V battery and is consequently always ready to use at any place.
• Data capture is strictly non-contact; in particular, no attaching of control markers is required.
• The individual views are automatically aligned using the object geometry.
• After alignment, the data can be exported to common formats such as ASCII, STL, PLY, DXF and VRML.

Digitising of the “Weary Herakles” Statue, Antalya, Turkey

The statue of the Greek demi-god Herakles dates back to the 2^nd century AD. The upper half was first displayed in the USA in the early 1980s and is currently kept by the Boston Museum of Fine Arts.

The lower part was discovered by Prof. Jale Inan during an excavation in Perge (Antalya) in 1980. It is now on display in the Antalya Museum, along with a photograph of the upper half. The lower part of the statue was digitised at the Museum of Antalya in September 2005, using an optoTOP-HE sensor with a field of view of 700 mm.

The complete scan consists of 67 images taken at different camera positions. The alignment of the different views was accomplished by utilizing the object geometry - without any physical contact with the object.

The project was carried out in cooperation with

• Department of Geodetic and Photogrammetric Engineering, Yildiz Technical University, Istanbul (Prof. Dr. Ayhan Alkis and Prof. Dr. Zubeyde Alkis)
• Institute of Geodesy and Photogrammetry, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) Zurich (Prof. Dr. Armin Grün)
• Our Turkish reseller, info(+)TRON, Istanbul

Documentation and common use of culture heritage

A good example to demonstrate this is the Centro Mallqui and the Museo Leymebamba, Peru, where some discoveries of the Laguna de los Condores were digitised with our triTOS system.
