title: Advantages of Using 3D Scanning in the Survey of Architectural Monuments on example of Archeological Sites in Egypt and Russia
abstract: Every conservation works related to an ancient masonry structures should be preceded by an appropriate diagnostic. This should be understood as geometrical survey and various tests, which results with a proper analysis of the structure, identification of materials, technologies and techniques used during construction. The effective tool which could be used in this field is 3-D laser scanning. The digital image obtained as a result of scanning could be a proper base for a preservation programme,
